How we handle new build mastic in Bartley
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are gaps between new skirting and floors and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
For a small place like Bartley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Bartley, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
New build mastic around Bartley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Bartley, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Ashurst New Forest station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bartley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
