How we handle new build mastic in Sedlescombe
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Sedlescombe, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in Sedlescombe
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Record problems with dated photos
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.

Sedlescombe questions
Will you come out to Sedlescombe?
Yes, Sedlescombe is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Battle station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Do you need new build mastic in Sedlescombe?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Battle station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How hidden problems are handled
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
