Nettlecombe: your questions answered
Is Nettlecombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Nettlecombe is covered. 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.

How we handle new build mastic in Nettlecombe
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Nettlecombe, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

New homes and floors in Nettlecombe
Nettlecombe is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Shanklin station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Nettlecombe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Nettlecombe
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Look out for these signs:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Nettlecombe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Nettlecombe
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Why act early in Nettlecombe
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Nettlecombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
