New build mastic for homes and businesses in Fyfield
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Fyfield just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need new build mastic in Fyfield
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Whether the job is in Fyfield itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
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.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Fyfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Fyfield: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Fyfield?
Yes, Fyfield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Fyfield?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Oxfordshire.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Joints and finishes in Fyfield homes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
