New-build mastic & snagging in Walderton, West Sussex
New build mastic across Walderton and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
New build mastic in Walderton
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Around Walderton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need new build mastic in Walderton
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 the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
In and around Walderton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Walderton
Will you come out to Walderton?
Yes, Walderton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Walderton in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Walderton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Walderton, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Walderton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
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.
