New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hickstead
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant around new window and door frames and cracked caulk along new skirting, on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers.
For a small place like Hickstead, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Hickstead
Do you work for landlords with property near Burgess Hill station?

Do you cover Hickstead for new build mastic?
Yes, Hickstead is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How much does new build mastic cost in Hickstead?
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. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hickstead can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we’re called out for in Hickstead
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Hickstead, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few photos by email, if you can
