About our new build mastic in Crawley
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
For a small place like Crawley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

FAQs for Crawley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Finstock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Crawley?
Yes, Crawley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.

What else we do in Crawley
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Crawley, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crawley
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Surface by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Common problems we fix in Crawley
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Finstock station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Crawley
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. In a small place like Crawley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
