When to call us in Whippingham
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Whippingham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in Whippingham
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you are dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Whippingham just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Why act early in Whippingham
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Whippingham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We’re fully insured

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Ryde Pier Head station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our 12-month guarantee.
