New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ashurst Wood
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Ashurst Wood, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Ashurst Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Ashurst Wood

- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near East Grinstead station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is VAT in the price?
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
