How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Aldenham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
New build mastic in Aldenham, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Aldenham often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Aldenham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
