East Lavington New Build Mastic
Our applicators work in East Lavington on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
New build mastic in East Lavington
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like East Lavington often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like East Lavington needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

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 to plan around. In a small place like East Lavington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.

What we’re called out for in East Lavington
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around East Lavington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Questions from East Lavington
Do you cover East Lavington for new build mastic?
Yes, East Lavington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to East Lavington?
Yes, East Lavington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
