- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

How we handle new build mastic in Grafham
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant work across a run of new homes, across skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Grafham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Questions from Grafham
Do you cover smaller places like Grafham?
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.
Do you cover Grafham for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Grafham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before work begins.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Why act early in Grafham
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Grafham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
