- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
How we handle new build mastic in Dean Court
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Dean Court, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Common problems we fix in Dean Court
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Dean Court, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Dean Court, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic in Dean Court: local notes

Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Dean Court, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
