How we handle new build mastic in Newfound
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Work in a small place like Newfound just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Newfound
Is Newfound within the area you cover?

Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you hold any approvals?

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

Common problems we fix in Newfound
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for any of the following:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
If you’ve bought a new home near Basingstoke station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
