New build mastic in Sandy Cross, done properly
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. We work on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps between new skirting and floors.
In and around Sandy Cross, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Sandy Cross and across East Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
New homes and floors in Sandy Cross
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Questions from Sandy Cross
Can you do new build mastic in Sandy Cross?
Yes, Sandy Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Sandy Cross?
All our work, in Sandy Cross and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items and we’ll give you a quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Sandy Cross
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For jobs in and around Sandy Cross, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking around Sandy Cross is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
Ask for a quote

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandy Cross
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. In an older home around Sandy Cross, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
