About our new build mastic in Pig Street
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes.
Somewhere as small as Pig Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

Common questions in Pig Street
Will you come out to Pig Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Pig Street?
Yes, Pig Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. 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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Do you need new build mastic in Pig Street?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For new homes near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

New build mastic around Pig Street
Pig Street 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Pig Street, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Pig Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
