Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Enborne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Enborne questions
Is Enborne within the area you cover?
Yes. Enborne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Enborne
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Enborne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Enborne, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
