New build mastic for homes and businesses in Upperton
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you are dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Upperton, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

New homes and floors in Upperton
Upperton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Eastbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
