Hi Andy+Rach , welcome to UKCS , i'd recommend Sikaflex 512 Caravan ( tube mastic ) and W4 roll mastic , both can be found at good caravan shops or online Here and Here . The screws i used were stainless made by Spax , 3,5mm x 30mm long , bought from B&Q .
Hope this helps , if you need more advice ask away .

BTW is there any reason why Sikaflex 512 is a better product surely you are only paying for the name?

Hi Mudlark , i'm only recommending Sikaflex because i've tried it and got on well with it , i have tried others like Seam seal CV  and Sealastik , but found they were either difficult to work with or just not up to the job .
There are so many caravan sealants to chose from , if you know of any good ones let us know .

Hi Michael , i found that one online but haven't got round to trying it , there's also Soudal Carbond 940 FC ,  it's another one i'd like to try out .
