Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
New build mastic in Great Berry
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
For a new home in or near Great Berry, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Berry
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos. In an older home around Great Berry, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. For a job in Great Berry, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
