New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lordington
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracked caulk along new skirting, across show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Lordington, 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.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
When to call us in Lordington
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Lordington, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Lordington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why act early in Lordington
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Lordington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
