Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
How we handle new build mastic in Berners Roding
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Berners Roding, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why act early in Berners Roding
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In a small place like Berners Roding, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
- A choice of colours where the product allows
Signs you need new build mastic in Berners Roding
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Berners Roding, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day

What affects the quote in Berners Roding
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
