New build mastic for homes and businesses in Gibraltar
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
In a village or hamlet like Gibraltar, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few photos and we will tell you. Around Gibraltar, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
What we’re called out for in Gibraltar
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
If you’ve bought a new home near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What else we do in Gibraltar
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Gibraltar needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
