How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

About our new build mastic in Bolney
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
In a village or hamlet like Bolney, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Bolney, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split

Questions from Bolney
I let a flat near Wivelsfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Bolney?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it isn’t resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
