About our new build mastic in Upper Beeding
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and internal frame sealant that has split, on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
For a small place like Upper Beeding, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Upper Beeding and across West Sussex.

Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Beeding, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
