How we handle new build mastic in Poynings
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
For a small place like Poynings, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Poynings
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Hassocks station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.

Common questions in Poynings

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Poynings, 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Poynings, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
