New build mastic in Piddinghoe
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We’re often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
Around Piddinghoe, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
