Why it’s worth doing now in Fontwell
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fontwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Fontwell: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Fontwell?
Yes, Fontwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Barnham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Do you need new build mastic in Fontwell?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Fontwell, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
