New build mastic in Hammerpot, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on skirting & floors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Hammerpot, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hammerpot as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Hammerpot
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Angmering station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hammerpot
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Hammerpot, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

New homes and floors in Hammerpot
Hammerpot is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Hammerpot, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.

Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
