New build mastic in Albourne
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Albourne, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about new build mastic in Albourne
Is Albourne in your area for new build mastic?

Will you come out to Albourne?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

When to call us in Albourne
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
If you’ve bought a new home near Hassocks station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Albourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Quotes for new build mastic in Albourne
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a small place like Albourne, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
