Hiltingbury New Build Mastic
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Hiltingbury? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
How we handle new build mastic in Hiltingbury
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for gaps behind new kitchen upstands and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
In and around Hiltingbury, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
FAQs for Hiltingbury
Will you come out to Hiltingbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Chandlers Ford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we will quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Hiltingbury, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In a smaller place like Hiltingbury, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
