Climping New Build Mastic
Our applicators work in Climping on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
How we handle new build mastic in Climping
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Climping, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

New homes and floors in Climping
Climping 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Climping, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Climping
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Climping, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Why Climping clients choose us
- We agree the colour with you first
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Signs you need new build mastic in Climping
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
If you’ve bought a new home near Littlehampton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

When is the sealant fully cured?
