About our new build mastic in Barcombe Cross

Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and internal frame sealant that has split, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.
For a small place like Barcombe Cross, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Barcombe Cross and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the quote in Barcombe Cross
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Common problems we fix in Barcombe Cross
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
For new homes near Cooksbridge station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. 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. Somewhere as small as Barcombe Cross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
