Fareham Common New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Fareham Common need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Fareham Common, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- We leave the area clean and tidy
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Fareham Common
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracked caulk along new skirting, across show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
In and around Fareham Common, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.

Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

What we’re called out for in Fareham Common
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Fareham Common, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What affects the quote in Fareham Common
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What we do, step by step

Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job.
