New build mastic for homes and businesses in Tilford Reeds
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Tilford Reeds, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Tilford Reeds, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilford Reeds
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What we’re called out for in Tilford Reeds
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Tilford Reeds, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we’ll quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
