How we handle new build mastic in Godshill
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
For a small place like Godshill, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Godshill as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Godshill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Godshill: your questions answered
Is Godshill in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Godshill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Godshill?
All our work, in Godshill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Common problems we fix in Godshill
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
In and around Godshill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated photos
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
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 protects the rest of the house.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
