How we handle new build mastic in Picket Piece
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, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you’re dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Picket Piece, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
When to call us in Picket Piece
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Andover station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Picket Piece, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Your questions about new build mastic in Picket Piece
Will you come out to Picket Piece?
Yes, Picket Piece is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Homes in smaller places like Picket Piece can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Fully insured

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and finishes in Picket Piece homes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
