About our new build mastic in Saddlescombe
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Saddlescombe. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Saddlescombe, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why it’s worth doing now in Saddlescombe
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Saddlescombe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber

When to call us in Saddlescombe
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For new homes near Hassocks station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Saddlescombe, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

Saddlescombe: your questions answered
Is Saddlescombe 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.
I let a flat near Hassocks station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
