New build mastic in Shalfleet, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Shalfleet. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
In a village or hamlet like Shalfleet, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What new build mastic looks like in Shalfleet
Shalfleet is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For jobs in and around Shalfleet, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Shalfleet, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Shalfleet is about 5 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Jobs in Shalfleet get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Landlord and commercial work in Shalfleet
Landlords and letting agents in Shalfleet can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Shalfleet: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Shalfleet?
All our work, in Shalfleet and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Shalfleet for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shalfleet is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shalfleet
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shalfleet can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Shalfleet, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
