Alfold Bars New Build Mastic
New build mastic for Alfold Bars, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. 180+ five-star Google reviews and a 4.9 rating.
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated photos
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
About our new build mastic in Alfold Bars
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help.
For a small place like Alfold Bars, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alfold Bars as everywhere else we work.

- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. In a small place like Alfold Bars, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Alfold Bars: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Alfold Bars?

What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Alfold Bars?
All our work, in Alfold Bars and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across West Sussex.
When to call us in Alfold Bars
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Alfold Bars, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
