About our new build mastic in Little Wigborough
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on windows & doors, show homes and kitchens.
Around Little Wigborough, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Little Wigborough, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Little Wigborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Do you need new build mastic in Little Wigborough?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
Around Little Wigborough, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Little Wigborough
Do you cover smaller places like Little Wigborough?
Yes. Little Wigborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Little Wigborough?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Little Wigborough: local notes
Little Wigborough is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For jobs in and around Little Wigborough, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
