New-build mastic & snagging in Bierley, Isle of Wight
Professional new build mastic in and around Bierley, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
How we handle new build mastic in Bierley
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that never bonded to the surface and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
In a village or hamlet like Bierley, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

New build mastic in Bierley: local notes
Bierley is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
Around Bierley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Shanklin station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why act early in Bierley
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bierley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
