New build mastic in Shobley
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. Common call-outs are for plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
In a village or hamlet like Shobley, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Shobley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Shobley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Shobley questions
Is new build mastic in Shobley guaranteed?
All our work, in Shobley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Shobley in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Shobley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. 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. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What affects the quote in Shobley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Common problems we fix in Shobley
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Whether the job is in Shobley itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
