What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Bardfield End Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

What happens if it’s left?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bardfield End Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common questions in Bardfield End Green
Will you come out to Bardfield End Green?
Yes, Bardfield End Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Bardfield End Green?
All our work, in Bardfield End Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
