What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
New build mastic in Alciston
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Alciston, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Alciston and across East Sussex.

Alciston questions
Do you cover Alciston for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Alciston is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Alciston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
New homes and floors in Alciston
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Alciston, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Berwick (Sussex) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What else we do in Alciston
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Alciston, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Alciston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
