How we handle new build mastic in Rhodes Minnis
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
In a village or hamlet like Rhodes Minnis, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Rhodes Minnis
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
In and around Rhodes Minnis, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

FAQs for Rhodes Minnis
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandling station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Rhodes Minnis?
Yes, Rhodes Minnis is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens if it’s left?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will tell you. In a small place like Rhodes Minnis, 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 play a part.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
