Hurst New Build Mastic
Our applicators work in Hurst on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Hurst
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Hurst, older homes often have timber in their 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 will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Colour agreed with you before work begins

About our new build mastic in Hurst
Across Hurst, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracked caulk along new skirting.
In a village or hamlet like Hurst, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Your questions about new build mastic in Hurst
Will you come out to Hurst?
Yes. Hurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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 Twyford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Hurst, 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.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Do you need new build mastic in Hurst?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Hurst, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
Landlord and commercial work in Hurst
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hurst and across Wokingham. We can quote a run of properties together.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Follow the cure time we give you
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
