- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
How we handle new build mastic in Godstone
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
For a small place like Godstone, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
Questions from Godstone
Is Godstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Godstone in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Godstone is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Godstone?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
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.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Godstone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Signs you need new build mastic in Godstone
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Godstone station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
