New Build Mastic in Woollensbrook
We cover Woollensbrook for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Why act early in Woollensbrook
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a small place like Woollensbrook, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant
- We are fully insured

New build mastic in Woollensbrook, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps between new skirting and floors, on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Woollensbrook often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Woollensbrook needs a little journey planning: 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Woollensbrook, along with the rest of our area.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Record problems with dated pictures
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.

Common problems we fix in Woollensbrook
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For new homes near Rye House station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
