What new build mastic looks like in Bevendean
Bevendean is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Moulsecoomb station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why act early in Bevendean
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Homes in smaller places like Bevendean can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we’re called out for in Bevendean
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Bevendean, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
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:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a job in Bevendean, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Do I need to be at home?

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
