Shanklin Village New Build Mastic
New build mastic for Shanklin Village, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Shanklin Village
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Shanklin Village
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
As a London address, Shanklin Village can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Questions from Shanklin Village
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Belmont station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is parking a problem for a job in Shanklin Village?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you work in Shanklin Village?
Yes, we do. Shanklin Village is part of the area we cover.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.

Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.

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.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Shanklin Village, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
