About our new build mastic in Godshill
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens alike.
Work in a small place like Godshill just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Godshill
Do you cover smaller places like Godshill?
Yes, Godshill is covered. 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Godshill, along with the rest of our area.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Godshill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What affects the quote in Godshill
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Godshill
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Godshill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
