Quotes for new build mastic in Mid Lavant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mid Lavant
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Mid Lavant, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common questions in Mid Lavant
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fishbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Mid Lavant in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mid Lavant is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

New homes and floors in Mid Lavant
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

What we are called out for in Mid Lavant
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
The most common problems we see are:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Mid Lavant, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
