Do you need new build mastic in East Ashling?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around East Ashling, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in East Ashling
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens.
Around East Ashling, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in East Ashling and across West Sussex.

East Ashling questions
Can you do new build mastic in East Ashling?
Yes, East Ashling is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Bosham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
