New build mastic for homes and businesses in Wych Cross
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We’re often asked to deal with new-build shower sealant that has already split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Wych Cross, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Wych Cross and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Wych Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
