New Build Mastic in Lodsworth
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Lodsworth? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall

- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How we handle new build mastic in Lodsworth
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Lodsworth, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us 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.
Lodsworth: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lodsworth?
Yes. Lodsworth 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 there a guarantee on new build mastic in Lodsworth?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Common problems we fix in Lodsworth
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Whether the job is in Lodsworth itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What else we do in Lodsworth
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Lodsworth, 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 going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Lodsworth
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lodsworth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work
- We never seal over old sealant

What’s near Lodsworth

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
