New build mastic in Brightling, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked caulk along new skirting, across plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Brightling often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Common questions in Brightling
Do you cover smaller places like Brightling?
Yes, Brightling is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Brightling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Quotes for new build mastic in Brightling
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we’re called out for in Brightling
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 when they notice one of these:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Robertsbridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
