What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Deacon's Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will give you a straight answer. Around Deacon's Hill, 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 look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
What affects the quote in Deacon's Hill
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What we’re called out for in Deacon's Hill
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Deacon's Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- What happens if the job turns out different

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
