How we handle new build mastic in Birling Gap
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 it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Birling Gap, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Birling Gap and everywhere else we cover.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

- When we can work, for business premises

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Birling Gap
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In a small place like Birling Gap, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Birling Gap customers choose us

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Joints and finishes in Birling Gap homes
Birling Gap is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Eastbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Birling Gap, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
