How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Felcourt: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Felcourt?
Yes. Felcourt is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Dormans station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Felcourt, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
When to call us in Felcourt
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Dormans station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
