DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
About our new build mastic in West Town
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and sealant work across a run of new homes, across kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near West Town, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated photos
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What we are called out for in West Town
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Fratton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book

Quotes for new build mastic in West Town
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Why act early in West Town
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a smaller place like West Town, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

New homes and floors in West Town
West Town is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
