New Build Mastic across West Sussex

Our new build mastic service in West Sussex

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. We work on show homes, kitchens and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracked caulk along new skirting.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots.

  1. Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

How to get a quote

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Around Crawley

Around Crawley, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park. Nearby too are The George Hotel (less than half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east). There’s a railway station in Crawley itself: Crawley station. Nearby you’ll also find Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (within half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Tilgate Lake.

New homes and floors across West Sussex

Our new build mastic work across West Sussex covers developers, householders and businesses, in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing and well beyond. The common thread is movement: every joint has to allow for it.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. Parts of West Sussex are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

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

What affects the quote in West Sussex

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The product the joint needs

Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What we need to know

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The problem you’ve noticed

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Why deal with it now?

Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation.

Comparing quotes

  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • What insurance they hold

What we are called out for in West Sussex

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting

Landlord and commercial work in West Sussex

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.

Skirting and floors

Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.

Questions from West Sussex

Should I wait before resealing?

It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.

How long does the job take?

A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room.

Can tenants book the work?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
