New build mastic in Thorney
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Somewhere as small as Thorney, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Thorney and everywhere else we cover.

Thorney: your questions answered
Is Thorney in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Thorney is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Thorney?
Yes. Thorney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Thorney, along with the rest of our area.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we’ll quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Thorney
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere as small as Thorney, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When to call us in Thorney
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Look out for these signs:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Thorney, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. In a small place like Thorney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 12-month guarantee on every job
