New build mastic in Roser's Cross, done properly
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 that stalls, we can do it. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and kitchens.
Around Roser's Cross, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Roser's Cross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Why deal with it now?
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 Roser's Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Roser's Cross
Is Roser's Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Roser's Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Buxted station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
