New-build mastic & snagging in Nutbourne, West Sussex
We cover Nutbourne for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
New build mastic in Nutbourne
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about skirting joints opening in the first winter and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
For a small place like Nutbourne, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

New build mastic in Nutbourne: local notes
Nutbourne is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Nutbourne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need new build mastic in Nutbourne?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
For new homes near Nutbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Nutbourne questions
I let a flat near Nutbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Nutbourne in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Nutbourne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
