How we handle new build mastic in Funtington
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and internal frame sealant that has split.
Older homes in small places like Funtington often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Funtington: your questions answered
Is Funtington within the area you cover?
Yes, Funtington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Nutbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Where do you work from?

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Funtington?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What affects the quote in Funtington
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Funtington, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What new build mastic looks like in Funtington
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Funtington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Nutbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In a small place like Funtington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
