New build mastic in Sharpthorne
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We are often asked to deal with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and cracked caulk along new skirting, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
In a village or hamlet like Sharpthorne, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Sharpthorne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What new build mastic looks like in Sharpthorne

Look out for any of the following:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build

Do you cover Sharpthorne for new build mastic?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
