Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic in Gosford, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors alike.
Older homes in small places like Gosford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why act early in Gosford
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gosford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We are fully insured

Common problems we fix in Gosford
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
For new homes near Oxford Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Questions from Gosford
Can you do new build mastic in Gosford?
Yes, Gosford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.

Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
