New build mastic in Brighstone, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens, and people most often call us about sealant work across a run of new homes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
Around Brighstone, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brighstone
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Brighstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need new build mastic in Brighstone?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Whether the job is in Brighstone itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
