What else we do in Great Amwell
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a small place like Great Amwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
Do you need new build mastic in Great Amwell?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near St Margarets (Herts) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere as small as Great Amwell, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
