New Build Mastic in Wigmore
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Wigmore? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
About our new build mastic in Wigmore
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. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Wigmore, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

What new build mastic looks like in Wigmore
Wigmore is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
For new homes near Rainham (Kent) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Wigmore, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Wigmore is about 1 mile south-east of Gillingham, in Medway. Jobs in Wigmore get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. 68 places in Medway are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Wigmore
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Wigmore, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Wigmore: your questions answered
Is Wigmore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Wigmore in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wigmore is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
