What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
New build mastic in Nutbourne, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
In a village or hamlet like Nutbourne, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What new build mastic looks like in Nutbourne
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Nutbourne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Pulborough station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nutbourne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Nutbourne: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Pulborough station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Nutbourne?
Yes, Nutbourne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Nutbourne.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Nutbourne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
