How we handle new build mastic in Racton
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Racton, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Racton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Racton
If you manage several properties in or around Racton, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

Why it’s worth doing now in Racton
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Racton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Racton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
New homes and floors in Racton
Racton is within about 3 miles of 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Southbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
When to call us in Racton
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.

- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home

In and around Racton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
