New build mastic in Brighton and Hove: how it works
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for worktop and upstand sealant coming away and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes.
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Where we work in Brighton and Hove
Homes across Brighton and Hove range from older properties with timber floors to new builds settling in. Floors move and new buildings settle, so skirting and floor joints open up in both.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in Brighton and Hove. Along the coast in Brighton and Hove, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Brighton: In and around Brighton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near London Road (Brighton) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
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, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

FAQs for Brighton and Hove
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
