New build mastic in Ferring
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes alike.
Homes around Ferring range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
What new build mastic looks like in Ferring
Ferring is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Goring-By-Sea station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we are called out for in Ferring
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Around Ferring, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Ferring, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ferring
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
