About our new build mastic in Durrington
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Common call-outs are for skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant work across a run of new homes, across kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Durrington, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

New homes and floors in Durrington
Durrington 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Durrington, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Durrington, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a smaller place like Durrington, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Durrington
Will you come out to Durrington?
Yes. Durrington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Durrington in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Durrington is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Common problems we fix in Durrington
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
For new homes near Durrington-On-Sea station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
