How we handle new build mastic in Isfield
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Isfield just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Isfield and across East Sussex.

What affects the quote in Isfield
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The amount of work
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Isfield needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What we’re called out for in Isfield
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Isfield, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Isfield: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Isfield?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Isfield?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Isfield is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Isfield
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Isfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
