- Cracked caulk along new skirting

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lee
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lee, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Lee
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Lee, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic in Lee: local notes
Lee is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Romsey station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO51, we cover new build mastic for homes and businesses. Lee is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for new build mastic.
Work in SO51 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. New build mastic is available to properties on Lee Lane and Lee Church Lane. Close by, we work in Ashfield (1 mile east), Toothill (1 mile east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Nursling (1 mile south-east) and Rownhams (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (10 miles north-east), Eastleigh (6 miles east), Fareham (15 miles south-east), Totton (3 miles south), Chandler's Ford (5 miles north-east) and Hedge End (9 miles east).
Around Lee
Lee’s nearest station is Romsey station, roughly 2.4 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include King Johns House (2.3 miles north) and Romsey Community Hospital (2.3 miles north). The countryside around Lee includes Testwood Lakes.
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lee can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For new build mastic in Lee, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Somewhere like Lee needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Lee: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lee?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
