About our new build mastic in East Lavant

If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors alike.
Work in a small place like East Lavant just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like East Lavant, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

East Lavant questions
Is East Lavant in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, East Lavant is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to East Lavant?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover East Lavant.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in East Lavant
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Chichester station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
