New build mastic in Aldrington, done properly
Across Aldrington, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant work across a run of new homes, across windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
In smaller places like Aldrington, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

FAQs for Aldrington
Is Aldrington within the area you cover?
Yes, Aldrington is covered. 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.
Can you do new build mastic in Aldrington?
Yes, Aldrington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.

Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
New build mastic in Aldrington: local notes
Aldrington is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
Around Aldrington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Aldrington is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. Aldrington gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove.

Landmarks near Aldrington

Other landmarks nearby include Montefiore Hospital (1.7 miles east) and British Engineerium (1.2 miles north-east). Not far away are Shoreham Beach and Thundersbarrow Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
Signs you need new build mastic in Aldrington
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Portslade station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a smaller place like Aldrington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
