About our new build mastic in Dorchester
Across Dorchester, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
Somewhere as small as Dorchester, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common questions in Dorchester
Do you work for landlords with property near Culham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Dorchester?
Yes, Dorchester is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
How much does new build mastic cost in Dorchester?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Dorchester, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in Dorchester
Why act early in Dorchester
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dorchester can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Signs you need new build mastic in Dorchester
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Dorchester, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
