New build mastic in Walstead, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. We are often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around Walstead, 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 our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Walstead can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Walstead questions
Is Walstead within the area you cover?
Yes. Walstead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Haywards Heath station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Walstead
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Walstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- A choice of colours where the product allows
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
