- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a small place like Broadley Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
New build mastic in Broadley Common, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Broadley Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Record problems with dated photos
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Broadley Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Broadley Common
When to call us in Broadley Common
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For new homes near Roydon station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
