New build mastic around West Blatchington
West Blatchington is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early.

If you’ve bought a new home near Aldrington station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around West Blatchington, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our new build mastic in West Blatchington
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near West Blatchington, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Blatchington as everywhere else we work.

Questions from West Blatchington
Will you come out to West Blatchington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldrington station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking around West Blatchington is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
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.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In an older home around West Blatchington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
