About our new build mastic in Ramsdell
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ramsdell, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can you do new build mastic in Ramsdell?

Can I send you my snagging list?

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
New build mastic in Ramsdell: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Bramley (Hants) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Ramsdell, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Do you need new build mastic in Ramsdell?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Around Ramsdell, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

What else we do in Ramsdell
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures and we will tell you. In a small place like Ramsdell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
