How we handle new build mastic in Yattendon
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across windows & doors, kitchens and show homes.
Around Yattendon, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yattendon

In a small place like Yattendon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What we’re called out for in Yattendon
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Yattendon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
