About our new build mastic in Sissinghurst
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
For a small place like Sissinghurst, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
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.

Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sissinghurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
When to call us in Sissinghurst
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Sissinghurst, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
