About our new build mastic in Goring-by-Sea
Across Goring-by-Sea, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Homes around Goring-by-Sea range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Goring-by-Sea and across West Sussex.

Joints and finishes in Goring-by-Sea homes
Goring-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Goring-By-Sea station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Signs you need new build mastic in Goring-by-Sea
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Goring-by-Sea, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Goring-by-Sea questions
Do you cover smaller places like Goring-by-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Goring-by-Sea?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Goring-by-Sea is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In an older home around Goring-by-Sea, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. A visit to Goring-by-Sea is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
