About our new build mastic in East Hagbourne
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Somewhere as small as East Hagbourne, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Older cottages and farmhouses around East Hagbourne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
New build mastic in East Hagbourne: local notes
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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
