About our new build mastic in Shootash
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors alike.
Work in a small place like Shootash just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Shootash
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Look out for these signs:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
Around Shootash, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Shootash, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common questions in Shootash
Will you come out to Shootash?
Yes, Shootash is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Shootash, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What new build mastic looks like in Shootash
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Romsey station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
