Friar's Hill questions
Do you cover Friar's Hill for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Friar's Hill is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Friar's Hill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
How we handle new build mastic in Friar's Hill
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Friar's Hill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When to call us in Friar's Hill
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Friar's Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal.

For a village or hamlet like Friar's Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

New build mastic in Friar's Hill: local notes
Friar's Hill is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Three Oaks station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Friar's Hill is about 4 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Friar's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
