About our new build mastic in Upper Bucklebury
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors alike.
Somewhere as small as Upper Bucklebury, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Upper Bucklebury, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
