New build mastic around Bidden
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Hook station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Bidden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Bidden
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Bidden and across Hampshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
How the visit works

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
