What we’re called out for in Farnham Common
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Burnham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Farnham Common
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Farnham Common, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Farnham Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Farnham Common, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Joints and finishes in Farnham Common homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.

Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Farnham Common?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. 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 matched to the joint and its conditions.
