Ludgershall: your questions answered
Do you cover Ludgershall for new build mastic?
Yes, Ludgershall is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ludgershall?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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 rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
How we handle new build mastic in Ludgershall
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We work on windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along new skirting and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
In smaller places like Ludgershall, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Ludgershall
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.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Ludgershall, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Ludgershall, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
