Signs you need new build mastic in Boughton Aluph
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Wye station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.

Landlord and commercial work in Boughton Aluph

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
