How we handle new build mastic in Skinner's Hill
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We’re often asked to deal with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Skinner's Hill often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Do you need new build mastic in Skinner's Hill?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Skinner's Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Skinner's Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Joints and finishes in Skinner's Hill homes
Skinner's Hill is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Sandown station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
