New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hollington
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. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
For a small place like Hollington, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Common problems we fix in Hollington
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Kintbury station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. Somewhere like Hollington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Hollington: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hollington?
Yes. Hollington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
