Common questions in Lidsing
Do you cover smaller places like Lidsing?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Rainham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Lidsing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
New build mastic in Lidsing: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Lidsing, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
Signs you need new build mastic in Lidsing
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For new homes near Rainham (Kent) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
