About our new build mastic in Dibden Purlieu
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Homes around Dibden Purlieu range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dibden Purlieu as everywhere else we work.

Joints and finishes in Dibden Purlieu homes
Dibden Purlieu is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, 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.
Around Dibden Purlieu, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In an older home around Dibden Purlieu, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Questions from Dibden Purlieu
I let a flat near Southampton Town Quay station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Dibden Purlieu within the area you cover?
Yes, Dibden Purlieu is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Dibden Purlieu?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Dibden Purlieu and the rest of Hampshire.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
