What affects the quote in East Wellow
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need new build mastic in East Wellow
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around East Wellow, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
