New build mastic for Holton Hill homes and businesses

About our new build mastic in Holton Hill

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps between new skirting and floors.

Around Holton Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

What new build mastic looks like in Holton Hill

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How the job changes by surface

Bathrooms and en suites

Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.

Kitchens

New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.

Common problems we fix in Holton Hill

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list

Around Holton Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether VAT is included
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Our hiring checklist

When it isn’t the sealant

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:

  • Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Plot handovers
  • Windows & doors
  • Show homes
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Skirting & floors

How the visit works

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Holton Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why act early in Holton Hill

Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Holton Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
