Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
New build mastic in Tidebrook, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Tidebrook. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Tidebrook, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Common questions in Tidebrook
Is Tidebrook within the area you cover?
Yes, Tidebrook is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Tidebrook in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Tidebrook is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Around Tidebrook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need new build mastic in Tidebrook
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Tidebrook, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
