New build mastic for homes and businesses in West Ashling
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Typical jobs include internal frame sealant that has split and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers.
In a village or hamlet like West Ashling, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around West Ashling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Common questions in West Ashling
Do you work for landlords with property near Bosham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is West Ashling in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Ashling is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
