How we handle new build mastic in Durrant Green
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for shower seals failing in the first year or two and second-fix sealing on new plots, across show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Around Durrant Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
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.

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. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Durrant Green
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Durrant Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
