New build mastic in Wargrave
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help.
In and around Wargrave, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Wargrave
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Wargrave
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Look out for any of the following:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
In and around Wargrave, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen

- How hidden problems are handled
Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures. In a smaller place like Wargrave, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
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 play a part.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Tidy, careful work

Wargrave: your questions answered
Is Wargrave within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Wargrave station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
