New build mastic for homes and businesses in Highwood
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors.
In a village or hamlet like Highwood, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Highwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
New homes and floors in Highwood
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 jobs in and around Highwood, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Highwood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
