New build mastic in Hound
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about sealant that never bonded to the surface and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Work in a small place like Hound just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Hound, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
For new build mastic in Hound, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What else we do in Hound
New build mastic around Hound
Hound is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Hound, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Netley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
