About our new build mastic in Brighthampton
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Around Brighthampton, 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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. We will plan around viewing times.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
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 that we can handle for you.

Quotes for new build mastic in Brighthampton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Brighthampton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive

Questions from Brighthampton
Do you cover Brighthampton for new build mastic?
Yes, Brighthampton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is new build mastic in Brighthampton guaranteed?
All our work, in Brighthampton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
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.
