What new build mastic looks like in Privett
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Petersfield station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Privett, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in Privett
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Privett often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Privett and across Hampshire.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Privett, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Will the old sealant be removed?

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
