What new build mastic looks like in Wilstone

If you’ve bought a new home near Cheddington station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilstone
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why act early in Wilstone
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wilstone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

Signs you need new build mastic in Wilstone
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Wilstone, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Wilstone
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Wilstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
