New build mastic in Hamble-le-Rice, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Hamble-le-Rice, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

New homes and floors in Hamble-le-Rice
Hamble-le-Rice 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. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Hamble station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Common problems we fix in Hamble-le-Rice
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
In and around Hamble-le-Rice, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Hamble-le-Rice questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hamble station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Hamble-le-Rice?
Yes. Hamble-le-Rice is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Hamble-le-Rice

What sealant work cannot fix

Why it’s worth doing now in Hamble-le-Rice
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a smaller place like Hamble-le-Rice, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
