- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Jevington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote

About our new build mastic in Jevington
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Jevington, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Jevington and everywhere else we cover.

Jevington questions
Can you do new build mastic in Jevington?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Jevington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Jevington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
How much does new build mastic cost in Jevington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Follow the cure time we give you
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Jevington
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.
What we are called out for in Jevington
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Polegate station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
New build mastic around Jevington
Jevington 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Jevington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
