New build mastic in Palmarsh
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Palmarsh. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
In smaller places like Palmarsh, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.

Common questions in Palmarsh
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandling station?

Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

What new build mastic looks like in Palmarsh
Palmarsh is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Palmarsh, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works

- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Do you need new build mastic in Palmarsh?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
If you’ve bought a new home near Sandling station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Homes in smaller places like Palmarsh can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
