Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

What else we do in Brook Street
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Brook Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Brook Street clients choose us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Tidy, careful work

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
New build mastic around Brook Street
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Appledore (Kent) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Brook Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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 are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
When to call us in Brook Street
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
The most common problems we see are:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Brook Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
