How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.
New build mastic in Langford
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Around Langford, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Langford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Langford: your questions answered
I let a flat near Hatfield Peverel station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Langford for new build mastic?
Yes, Langford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Langford, along with the rest of our area.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Langford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Quotes for new build mastic in Langford
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
What we’re called out for in Langford
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
In and around Langford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
