We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. We’ll plan around viewing times.
How we handle new build mastic in Godinton
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We are often asked to deal with sealant that never bonded to the surface and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Homes around Godinton range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What new build mastic looks like in Godinton

DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Godinton
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Godinton
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
If you’ve bought a new home near Ashford International station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. For a job in Godinton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
