New build mastic for homes and businesses in Durrants
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We are often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across kitchens, show homes and plot handovers.
For a small place like Durrants, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Joints and finishes in Durrants homes
Durrants is within about 3 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Rowlands Castle station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why deal with it now?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Durrants, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Durrants, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How we quote for new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Follow the cure time we give you
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
