New build mastic for homes and businesses in Four Throws
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors alike.
For a small place like Four Throws, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

Signs you need new build mastic in Four Throws
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Etchingham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Four Throws, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Full insurance on every job

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
