About our new build mastic in Langney
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. If you are dealing with gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Langney, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

New homes and floors in Langney
Langney is close to 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Langney, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. 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.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a smaller place like Langney, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Langney is usually 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Your questions about new build mastic in Langney
Do you cover smaller places like Langney?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Pevensey & Westham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
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.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
Surface by surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
