New build mastic in Tile Hurst
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Tile Hurst, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Tile Hurst, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
