New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cooper's Corner
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Cooper's Corner, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Cooper's Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we’re called out for in Cooper's Corner
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Etchingham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Cooper's Corner: your questions answered
I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
