About our new build mastic in Bitterne Park
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors alike.
Homes around Bitterne Park range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton.

What new build mastic looks like in Bitterne Park
Bitterne Park is within about 3 miles of 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Bitterne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step

- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.

- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Bitterne Park, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
