FAQs for Kingston by Sea
I let a flat near Southwick station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Kingston by Sea within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
How we handle new build mastic in Kingston by Sea
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right.
Homes around Kingston by Sea range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Kingston by Sea
Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Homes in smaller places like Kingston by Sea can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the quote in Kingston by Sea
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Kingston by Sea, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Landlord and commercial work in Kingston by Sea
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Common problems we fix in Kingston by Sea
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Southwick station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
