New homes and floors in Edgehill
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Edgehill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic in Edgehill, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We’re often asked to deal with shower seals failing in the first year or two and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Older homes in small places like Edgehill often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Edgehill and across Oxfordshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Common problems we fix in Edgehill
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Whether the job is in Edgehill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Will you come out to Edgehill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What do you need from me for a quote?

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Edgehill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the quote in Edgehill
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
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.
