About our new build mastic in Ibstone
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Work in a small place like Ibstone just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

New build mastic in Ibstone: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Saunderton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ibstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
Questions from Ibstone
Can you do new build mastic in Ibstone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ibstone 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 Saunderton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common problems we fix in Ibstone
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Ibstone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
