New Build Mastic in Shottermill
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Shottermill and across Surrey. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

New build mastic in Shottermill
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and sealant work across a run of new homes.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Shottermill, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Shottermill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Parking around Shottermill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need new build mastic in Shottermill
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Haslemere station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What affects the quote in Shottermill
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
