Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.

What else we do in Godstow
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on how much there is to do.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Do you need new build mastic in Godstow?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Godstow, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Yes. We are fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Godstow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
