About our new build mastic in Tortington
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you have cracked sealant around new window and door frames and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Tortington just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Tortington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors

New build mastic in Tortington: local notes
Tortington is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Tortington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Ford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
Common questions in Tortington
Do you cover Tortington for new build mastic?
Yes, Tortington 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 Tortington?
Yes, Tortington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
