Advice
New build mastic in Bouldnor, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Work in a small place like Bouldnor just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bouldnor
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Bouldnor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

New build mastic in Bouldnor: local notes
Bouldnor is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among 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 Lymington Pier station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Signs you need new build mastic in Bouldnor
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Bouldnor, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
