- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
New build mastic in Pease Pottage
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. In both, preparation makes the difference. Typical jobs include internal frame sealant that has split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Pease Pottage, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Pease Pottage
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Crawley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Pease Pottage, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why it’s worth doing now in Pease Pottage
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In an older home around Pease Pottage, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
