How we handle new build mastic in Towersey
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across show homes, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Towersey often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Towersey, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need new build mastic in Towersey
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for these signs:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
Common questions in Towersey
Will you come out to Towersey?

I let a flat near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Towersey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
