FAQs for Lower Beeding
Do you cover Lower Beeding for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lower Beeding is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Horsham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
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.
New build mastic in Lower Beeding

Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps between new skirting and floors, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we will tell you. Around Lower Beeding, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
