How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. We’ll plan around viewing times.
New build mastic in Ashurst, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed 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. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Somewhere as small as Ashurst, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we’re called out for in Ashurst
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Around Ashurst, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Joints and finishes in Ashurst homes

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Follow the cure time we give you
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Ashurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
