New build mastic in Crockhurst Street
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. We are often asked to deal with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors.
Work in a small place like Crockhurst Street just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Crockhurst Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why act early in Crockhurst Street
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like Crockhurst Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Questions from Crockhurst Street
Is Crockhurst Street in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Crockhurst Street is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Crockhurst Street?
Yes. Crockhurst Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Signs you need new build mastic in Crockhurst Street
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Tonbridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
