Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
About our new build mastic in Charing Hill
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can put it right, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Charing Hill often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Charing Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Charing Hill
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. Around Charing Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

FAQs for Charing Hill
Will you come out to Charing Hill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Charing Hill?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Charing Hill is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What affects the quote in Charing Hill
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
