New-build mastic & snagging in Great Thorness, Isle of Wight
Professional new build mastic in and around Great Thorness, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
New build mastic in Great Thorness
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Great Thorness, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Great Thorness, the journey is planned in advance: 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 agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray

New build mastic in Great Thorness: local notes
Great Thorness is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Whether the job is in Great Thorness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Great Thorness, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Great Thorness
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around Great Thorness, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
