About our new build mastic in Ticehurst
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Ticehurst. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Ticehurst, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ticehurst and everywhere else we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
New homes and floors in Ticehurst
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

What affects the quote in Ticehurst
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Common problems we fix in Ticehurst
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For new homes near Stonegate station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Questions from Ticehurst
Do you cover smaller places like Ticehurst?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Ticehurst?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ticehurst is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
