New build mastic in Scaynes Hill, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Work in a small place like Scaynes Hill just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Common questions in Scaynes Hill
I let a flat near Haywards Heath station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Scaynes Hill?
Yes. Scaynes Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need new build mastic in Scaynes Hill?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Haywards Heath station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Scaynes Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
