New build mastic in Thorncross, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We’re often asked to deal with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Somewhere as small as Thorncross, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Thorncross
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Thorncross?
All our work, in Thorncross and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Thorncross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Do you need new build mastic in Thorncross?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Thorncross, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Joints and finishes in Thorncross homes
Thorncross is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
For jobs in and around Thorncross, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
