What new build mastic looks like in Laughton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Glynde station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How we handle new build mastic in Laughton
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Around Laughton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Laughton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Do you need new build mastic in Laughton?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Laughton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Laughton, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
