New build mastic around Woolton Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Woolton Hill questions
Do you cover Woolton Hill for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woolton Hill is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Leave it or put it right?
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. In a small place like Woolton Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Colour picked to suit the job
What we’re called out for in Woolton Hill
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
In and around Woolton Hill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere as small as Woolton Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
