DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Badshot Lea, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
Common questions in Badshot Lea
Will you come out to Badshot Lea?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

How much does new build mastic cost in Badshot Lea?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Joints and finishes in Badshot Lea homes

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Badshot Lea can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
