The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Wivelsfield Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

New build mastic in Wivelsfield Green, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and internal frame sealant that has split, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Wivelsfield Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Wivelsfield Green, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wivelsfield Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
