How we handle new build mastic in Folly Town
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.
Around Folly Town, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Folly Town, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Folly Town questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Wye station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Folly Town within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote with our one-year guarantee.
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 applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why act early in Folly Town
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Folly Town, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

What we’re called out for in Folly Town
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
In and around Folly Town, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
