New build mastic in Storrington
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
For a new home in or near Storrington, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Storrington
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. Around Storrington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated photos
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Storrington, 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 go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

Signs you need new build mastic in Storrington
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Pulborough station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Common questions in Storrington
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you help?

Do you cover smaller places like Storrington?
Yes, Storrington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
