New build mastic in Fawley
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes.
In a village or hamlet like Fawley, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Signs you need new build mastic in Fawley
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Henley-On-Thames station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
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 and the new finishes intact.
Landlord and commercial work in Fawley
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Fawley can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Do you cover smaller places like Fawley?
Yes, Fawley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Fawley.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
