New build mastic in Hale Common
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant work across a run of new homes, across skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Around Hale Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Signs you need new build mastic in Hale Common
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Hale Common, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Joints and finishes in Hale Common homes
Hale Common is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Shanklin station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Hale Common
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. In a small place like Hale Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
