New build mastic across East Sussex: what to expect

Across East Sussex, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy.

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.
We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

New build mastic across East Sussex: local notes

From Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea to its smaller places, East Sussex has new developments as well as older homes. Snagging in new homes and floor joints in older ones are both part of the work.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in East Sussex. Along the coast in East Sussex, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Eastbourne: If you’ve bought a new home near Hampden Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Eastbourne, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchens

As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

Plot handovers

Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.

Why it fails

A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build

What sealant work cannot fix

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

When we can work, for business premises
Whether the work is at height
Which sealant suits the joint
How many areas need sealing

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What to tell us for a quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The problem you’ve noticed
Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Whether it’s a home or a business

We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered

Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

Common questions in East Sussex

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.

What should I tell you?

Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.

Should I go to my builder first?

Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
