Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Around Cross Gate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

New build mastic in Cross Gate
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and gaps between new skirting and floors.
For a small place like Cross Gate, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Cross Gate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross Gate
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Cross Gate, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Do you need new build mastic in Cross Gate?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Amberley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
