Your questions about new build mastic in Maplehurst
Do you work for landlords with property near Christs Hospital station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Maplehurst in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Maplehurst is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
About our new build mastic in Maplehurst
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, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you’re dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help.
Around Maplehurst, 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.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What affects the quote in Maplehurst
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

What else we do in Maplehurst
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Maplehurst, 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, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Maplehurst can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why Maplehurst customers choose us

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need new build mastic in Maplehurst
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Maplehurst, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
