New-build mastic & snagging in Newton Valence, Hampshire
New build mastic across Newton Valence and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
How we handle new build mastic in Newton Valence
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Older homes in small places like Newton Valence often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Do you need new build mastic in Newton Valence?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Alton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newton Valence, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Newton Valence needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Questions from Newton Valence
Can you do new build mastic in Newton Valence?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newton Valence is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Newton Valence within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
