How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Stone Cross, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Common problems we fix in Stone Cross
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Pevensey & Westham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

Stone Cross is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Stone Cross, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Homes in smaller places like Stone Cross can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
