New-build mastic & snagging in Fair Oak, Hampshire
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Fair Oak and across Hampshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Fair Oak
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Homes around Fair Oak range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Fair Oak, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What else we do in Fair Oak
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we’re called out for in Fair Oak
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Around Fair Oak, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Fair Oak questions
Do you cover smaller places like Fair Oak?
Yes, we do. 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.
I let a flat near Hedge End station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. In a smaller place like Fair Oak, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
