New build mastic in Mongewell, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Work in a small place like Mongewell just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mongewell
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Mongewell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
New homes and floors in Mongewell
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
