Common problems we fix in Lychpit
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Basingstoke station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Lychpit, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Work in a small place like Lychpit just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Lychpit
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Lychpit, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lychpit

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Your questions about new build mastic in Lychpit
Will you come out to Lychpit?
Yes, Lychpit is covered. 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.
Do you cover Lychpit for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lychpit is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
