About our new build mastic in Sholing
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Sholing range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a smaller place like Sholing, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

New build mastic around Sholing
Sholing is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Sholing, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common problems we fix in Sholing
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Sholing station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Sholing, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Common questions in Sholing
Is Sholing in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Sholing is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Sholing?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
