New build mastic for homes and businesses in Heart's Delight
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 instead of bonding to the dust. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Somewhere as small as Heart's Delight, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Heart's Delight
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For new homes near Snowdown station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Heart's Delight: your questions answered
Is Heart's Delight 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Snowdown station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
