About our new build mastic in Dudswell
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right.
For a small place like Dudswell, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for Dudswell
I let a flat near Tring station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Dudswell in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Dudswell is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Common problems we fix in Dudswell
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
For new homes near Tring station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Around Dudswell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
