New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hurstpierpoint
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant work across a run of new homes, across plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors.
In smaller places like Hurstpierpoint, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.

What else we do in Hurstpierpoint
Common problems we fix in Hurstpierpoint
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Hurstpierpoint, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Hurstpierpoint is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Common questions in Hurstpierpoint
Will you come out to Hurstpierpoint?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Hurstpierpoint?
Yes, Hurstpierpoint is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
