About our new build mastic in Ditchling Common
Across Ditchling Common, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and gaps between new skirting and floors, across kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
Around Ditchling Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

What else we do in Ditchling Common
Why act early in Ditchling Common
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Ditchling Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
