Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
New build mastic in Great Hollands
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 have beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help, on kitchens, plot handovers and show homes alike.
In smaller places like Great Hollands, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
