New build mastic for homes and businesses in Wokefield
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We are often asked to deal with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes.
For a small place like Wokefield, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Wokefield?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work through snagging lists?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Wokefield, 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.

Common problems we fix in Wokefield
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Look out for these signs:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Mortimer station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
