About our new build mastic in Jenkins' Green

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.

Around Jenkins' Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Jenkins' Green questions

Do you work for landlords with property near Pevensey & Westham station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Will you come out to Jenkins' Green?

Yes, Jenkins' Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.

Where do you work from?

We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

What does new build mastic cost?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?

Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we can reseal it properly.

How long does the job take?

A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.

DIY versus a professional finish

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, then guaranteed for a year.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

What new build mastic looks like in Jenkins' Green

Jenkins' Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

If you’ve bought a new home near Pevensey & Westham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Jenkins' Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.

Bathrooms and en suites

Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.

How to look after the new joints

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Keep photos and emails about snagging items

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.

A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The size of the job

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.

How the visit works

We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Jenkins' Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
