Signs you need new build mastic in Lymore
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around Lymore, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
How we handle new build mastic in Lymore
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Older homes in small places like Lymore often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What new build mastic looks like in Lymore
Lymore 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Lymington Town station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Lymore questions
I let a flat near Lymington Town station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Lymore, 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 start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
