New build mastic in Holt Pound, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
Older homes in small places like Holt Pound often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Holt Pound, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Common questions in Holt Pound
Can you do new build mastic in Holt Pound?
Yes, Holt Pound is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it isn’t resolved, we can reseal it properly.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Holt Pound can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Signs you need new build mastic in Holt Pound
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Holt Pound, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
