What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Cracking that points to a structural problem
  • A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

New build mastic in Ditton

Across Ditton, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.

Around Ditton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

How the visit works

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Ditton, 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Preparing for the visit

  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

New build mastic around Ditton

What affects the quote in Ditton

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Access and height
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Which sealant suits the joint

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. You will know the price before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Where the property is
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

Questions from Ditton

Can you do new build mastic in Ditton?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ditton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is Ditton within the area you cover?

Yes, Ditton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Does someone need to be in?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Will it make a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

What should I tell you?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

How long will you be here?

Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?

If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Why act early in Ditton

Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Ditton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
