Typical jobs include cracked sealant around new window and door frames and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Questions from Plumpton
Do you cover Plumpton for new build mastic?
Yes, Plumpton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Plumpton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
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 with our one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Older cottages and farmhouses around Plumpton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Signs you need new build mastic in Plumpton
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Plumpton station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Plumpton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
