What new build mastic looks like in Windsor
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Windsor & Eton Central station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Windsor, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we handle new build mastic in Windsor
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
Shops and business units around Windsor have floors that see a lot of traffic. Joints at thresholds and in tiled or concrete floors need resealing before the edges start to break up.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Your questions about new build mastic in Windsor
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Windsor?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Windsor & Eton Central station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Windsor
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking in a town like Windsor is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
