How we handle new build mastic in Rockford
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Rockford just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Your questions about new build mastic in Rockford
Do you cover Rockford for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rockford is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Rockford?

What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Rockford, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rockford
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around Rockford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We are fully insured
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

What new build mastic looks like in Rockford

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
