- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
About our new build mastic in Bodiam
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Older homes in small places like Bodiam often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need new build mastic in Bodiam?
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Bodiam, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Bodiam, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

What else we do in Bodiam
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Bodiam and across East Sussex. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from Bodiam
Is Bodiam in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Bodiam is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bodiam
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bodiam, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
