Leave it or put it right?
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. In a small place like Rookley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What affects the quote in Rookley
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What new build mastic looks like in Rookley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Rookley, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Shanklin station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
If you are 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.
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.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Rookley, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
