New-build mastic & snagging in Ibworth, Hampshire
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Ibworth? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Ibworth, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ibworth
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. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant work across a run of new homes.
In a village or hamlet like Ibworth, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

New build mastic in Ibworth: local notes

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Do not 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.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
Common problems we fix in Ibworth
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Overton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ibworth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Questions from Ibworth
Can you do new build mastic in Ibworth?
Yes, Ibworth is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Overton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
