About our new build mastic in Swaile's Green
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We are often asked to deal with shower seals failing in the first year or two and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across plot handovers, show homes and kitchens.
For a small place like Swaile's Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Swaile's Green
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Around Swaile's Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swaile's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Colour picked to suit the job
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated photos
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
New build mastic in Swaile's Green: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Robertsbridge station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How we quote for new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
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. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Swaile's Green and across East Sussex. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Common questions in Swaile's Green
Can you do new build mastic in Swaile's Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Swaile's Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Robertsbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Swaile's Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
