  • Sealant work across a run of new homes
  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build

If you’ve bought a new home near Lymington Town station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

About our new build mastic in Pilley Bailey

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. Common call-outs are for frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.

For a small place like Pilley Bailey, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Why act early in Pilley Bailey

Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Pilley Bailey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When it isn’t the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Pilley Bailey

Do you work for landlords with property near Lymington Town station?

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Do you cover Pilley Bailey for new build mastic?

Yes, Pilley Bailey is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?

No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?

Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.

Keeping the joints in good condition

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Record problems with dated pictures

Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.

A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

What we do, step by step

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Pilley Bailey, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Move anything stored near the joints
