New build mastic in Wildridings, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and sealant work across a run of new homes, across windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Wildridings, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Why deal with it now?
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. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Homes in smaller places like Wildridings can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Wildridings
Common problems we fix in Wildridings
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Bracknell station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Landlord and commercial work in Wildridings
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New homes and floors in Wildridings
Wildridings is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Newer neighbourhoods have been added to Bracknell over the years, so brand-new homes and homes from the post-war decades sit within a short drive of each other. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Wildridings, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Wildridings, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
