About our new build mastic in Ashlett
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Ashlett, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about new build mastic in Ashlett
Will you come out to Ashlett?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hamble station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Ashlett needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

What we are called out for in Ashlett
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Hamble station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
