When to call us in Poffley End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
In and around Poffley End, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New build mastic in Poffley End, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
For a small place like Poffley End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What new build mastic looks like in Poffley End
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Finstock station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What affects the quote in Poffley End
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Record problems with dated photos
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Poffley End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach 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: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
