New build mastic in Thornhill, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Homes around Thornhill range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

Joints and finishes in Thornhill homes
Thornhill is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
Around Thornhill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. 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.
Thornhill is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Southampton. Jobs in Thornhill get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Thornhill is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover for new build mastic.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a smaller place like Thornhill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhill
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why act early in Thornhill
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few photos. Around Thornhill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
