About our new build mastic in Bedham
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. If you’re dealing with gaps between new skirting and floors and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help.
Around Bedham, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

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.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.

Landlord and commercial work in Bedham
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Bedham and across West Sussex. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
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.

How long before the joint can be used?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Signs you need new build mastic in Bedham
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Bedham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Bedham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
