Westmeston New Build Mastic
New-build sealant joints in Westmeston need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
New build mastic in Westmeston, done properly
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. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Somewhere as small as Westmeston, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why act early in Westmeston
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we will give you a straight answer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Westmeston can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
