New Build Mastic in Nayland
New build mastic across Nayland and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
How we handle new build mastic in Nayland
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors alike.
Around Nayland, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Common questions in Nayland
Do you cover Nayland for new build mastic?
Yes, Nayland is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Nayland within the area you cover?
Yes, Nayland is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Nayland, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Common problems we fix in Nayland
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Nayland, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
