Why act early in Compton

A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Compton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

New build mastic in Compton, done properly

Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors alike.

For a small place like Compton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Compton and everywhere else we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Surface by surface

Bathrooms and en suites

New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Windows and doors

The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.

What we do, step by step

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Compton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How we quote for new build mastic

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

Helping us quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • A few pictures by email, if you can

How to look after the new joints

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
  • Use the extractor fan every time you shower
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.

Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
