New build mastic for homes and businesses in Pevensey Bay
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you are dealing with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors alike.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Pevensey Bay, 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.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Pevensey Bay is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What new build mastic looks like in Pevensey Bay
Pevensey Bay is close to 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Pevensey Bay station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a smaller place like Pevensey Bay, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Your questions about new build mastic in Pevensey Bay
Do you cover smaller places like Pevensey Bay?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Pevensey Bay?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pevensey Bay is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need new build mastic in Pevensey Bay?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Look out for any of the following:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Pevensey Bay, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
