New build mastic for homes and businesses in Pyecombe
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting joints opening in the first winter and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Older homes in small places like Pyecombe often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Pyecombe
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Pyecombe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why act early in Pyecombe
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pyecombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
