How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Redford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How we handle new build mastic in Redford
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Common call-outs are for gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant work across a run of new homes, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Redford, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Joints and finishes in Redford homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Liphook station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Redford, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around Redford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Redford
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- 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
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
