New build mastic in East Grinstead
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Small business units and shops in a town like East Grinstead have floors that take heavy wear. Threshold and floor joints are best resealed before their edges start breaking away.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Grinstead as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. For a job in East Grinstead, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
