Lewknor: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lewknor?
Yes. Lewknor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is new build mastic in Lewknor guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
New build mastic in Lewknor, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Lewknor often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Do you need new build mastic in Lewknor?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
For jobs in and around Lewknor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Lewknor, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
