New-build mastic & snagging in Ludgershall, Buckinghamshire
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Ludgershall? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle new build mastic in Ludgershall
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include internal frame sealant that has split and second-fix sealing on new plots, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Ludgershall often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need new build mastic in Ludgershall?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Whether the job is in Ludgershall itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Ludgershall, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Can you work on commercial sites?

What colour sealant will you use?

Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Ludgershall, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
