About our new build mastic in Darby Green
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes.
For a small place like Darby Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Darby Green and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Darby Green
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Darby Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Darby Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Internal frame sealant that has split
In and around Darby Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
