New build mastic in Hogpits Bottom
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you are dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Hogpits Bottom often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Hogpits Bottom questions
Can you do new build mastic in Hogpits Bottom?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hogpits Bottom is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chalfont & Latimer station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
What information do you need?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Signs you need new build mastic in Hogpits Bottom
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Hogpits Bottom, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
