Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Lidsey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Lidsey is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Lidsey questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Lidsey for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lidsey is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
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 the job changes by surface
Plot handovers

Skirting and floors

- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
