New build mastic in Shipley Bridge, done properly
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 work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Around Shipley Bridge, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Shipley Bridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Shipley Bridge
Can you do new build mastic in Shipley Bridge?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shipley Bridge is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?

Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Signs you need new build mastic in Shipley Bridge
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For new homes near Gatwick Airport station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipley Bridge
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
