New build mastic in Wickham Common, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
In a village or hamlet like Wickham Common, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
What affects the quote in Wickham Common
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Advice
Why act early in Wickham Common
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Wickham Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
