New build mastic in Shopwyke
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right.
Around Shopwyke, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
When to call us in Shopwyke
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Chichester station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What else we do in Shopwyke
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Record problems with dated photos
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
