New build mastic in Golden Cross
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you are dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Golden Cross and across East Sussex.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Common problems we fix in Golden Cross
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Golden Cross, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Golden Cross
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we will tell you. Around Golden Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
