What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Grazeley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What new build mastic looks like in Grazeley
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Grazeley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.

What we are called out for in Grazeley
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
If you’ve bought a new home near Reading Green Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
