I let a flat near Kings Sutton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.

What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
New build mastic in Clifton, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
For a small place like Clifton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors

Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

Common problems we fix in Clifton
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Kings Sutton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
What new build mastic looks like in Clifton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Clifton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
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 to plan around. Around Clifton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
