How we handle new build mastic in Horsham

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant work across a run of new homes.

A place the size of Horsham has new developments as well as older streets. New homes need their plot mastic and sealant finished well, and owners often find snags in the first year or two, as a new house dries out and settles.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Horsham

Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.

People usually contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list

For new homes near Horsham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What to look for in a quote

  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Horsham questions

Is Horsham in your area for new build mastic?

Yes, Horsham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Do you work for landlords with property near Horsham station?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.

How much does new build mastic cost in Horsham?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.

Will it make a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Horsham

In a busy place like Horsham, a failed joint in a flat or office can send water into the space below, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How we quote for new build mastic

The process

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For homes and businesses in busier parts of Horsham, parking needs a little planning. For flats, mention stairs, lifts and shared entrances as well.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
