How we handle new build mastic in Heath Common
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Heath Common. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Around Heath Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

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 fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Heath Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

Heath Common: your questions answered
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Heath Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
How much does new build mastic cost in Heath Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What we’re called out for in Heath Common
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For new homes near Pulborough station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
