About our new build mastic in Friar's Wash
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are frame joints opening as the plaster dries and cracked caulk along new skirting.
For a small place like Friar's Wash, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Friar's Wash, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Friar's Wash, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
