About our new build mastic in Shripney
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have second-fix sealing on new plots and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right, on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Around Shripney, 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’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Shripney: local notes
Shripney is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Shripney, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a small place like Shripney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Signs you need new build mastic in Shripney
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
If you’ve bought a new home near Bognor Regis station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Shripney: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Shripney?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shripney is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bognor Regis station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
