New build mastic in Ufton Nervet, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Ufton Nervet, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Your questions about new build mastic in Ufton Nervet
Will you come out to Ufton Nervet?
Yes, Ufton Nervet is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldermaston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
When to call us in Ufton Nervet
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Ufton Nervet, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Ufton Nervet, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Ufton Nervet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
