New build mastic for homes and businesses in Woodmancote
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. If you’re dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Woodmancote, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Woodmancote
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodmancote can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?

- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.
What new build mastic looks like in Woodmancote
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Hassocks station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Woodmancote, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
