About our new build mastic in Hammer Bottom
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens alike.
Somewhere as small as Hammer Bottom, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hammer Bottom can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Hammer Bottom, 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.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
