New build mastic in Hitchambury
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are second-fix sealing on new plots and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
For a small place like Hitchambury, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Hitchambury, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
When to call us in Hitchambury
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Hitchambury, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can landlords and businesses book you?
