Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Homes in smaller places like Rye can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

About our new build mastic in Rye
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help.
Homes around Rye range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
FAQs for Rye
Is Rye within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Rye in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Rye is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

New build mastic in Rye: local notes
Rye is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Rye station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Rye, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
