New build mastic in Harrowcross
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across windows & doors, show homes and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Harrowcross, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Harrowcross, 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, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you need new build mastic in Harrowcross?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Harrowcross, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Questions from Harrowcross
Is Harrowcross in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Harrowcross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Harrowcross?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What does new build mastic cost?

Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
