How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Brading, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Tidy, careful work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Old sealant always removed completely

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Your questions about new build mastic in Brading
Can you do new build mastic in Brading?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Brading is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brading station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Brading?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.

New build mastic in Brading: local notes
Brading 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Brading station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
