Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
New build mastic in Blackhill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Older homes in small places like Blackhill often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Signs you need new build mastic in Blackhill
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Blackhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
FAQs for Blackhill
Can you do new build mastic in Blackhill?
Yes, Blackhill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
