Hart Plain New Build Mastic
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Hart Plain? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
How we handle new build mastic in Hart Plain
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
In and around Hart Plain, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Do you need new build mastic in Hart Plain?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
If you’ve bought a new home near Rowlands Castle station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Hart Plain is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

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. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
