New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ringmer
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Typical jobs include shower seals failing in the first year or two and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Ringmer, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Ringmer and across East Sussex.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
FAQs for Ringmer
Is Ringmer in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ringmer is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Ringmer within the area you cover?
Yes, Ringmer is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How much does new build mastic cost in Ringmer?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Common problems we fix in Ringmer
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Glynde station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
