New build mastic in Winterbourne, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes alike.
Work in a small place like Winterbourne just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Winterbourne
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Winterbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterbourne
Letting agents and landlords in Winterbourne can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Winterbourne, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
