New build mastic in South Hanningfield
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about cracks appearing as a new home settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Work in a small place like South Hanningfield just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in South Hanningfield
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around South Hanningfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Hanningfield can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What you get with us
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
