New-build mastic & snagging in Balls Green, East Sussex
Professional new build mastic in and around Balls Green, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
New build mastic in Balls Green, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Around Balls Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balls Green
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 that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Balls Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Tidy, careful work

FAQs for Balls Green
Will you come out to Balls Green?
Yes, we do. 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 help a landlord with a rental near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
