New build mastic for homes and businesses in Battle
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include gaps behind new kitchen upstands and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Battle, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Battle
Do you cover Battle for new build mastic?
Yes, Battle is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Battle station?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How much does new build mastic cost in Battle?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do I have to be there?
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.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to Battle is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Battle
Joints and finishes in Battle homes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Battle station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Battle
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When to call us in Battle
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around Battle, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
