Common problems we fix in Foscot
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
In and around Foscot, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our new build mastic in Foscot
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens, and people most often call us about sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Somewhere as small as Foscot, 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, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Foscot questions
Will you come out to Foscot?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Foscot?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Foscot is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are usually two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Foscot?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.

Joints and finishes in Foscot homes

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. Somewhere like Foscot needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
