Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic around Great Wigborough
Great Wigborough is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Great Wigborough, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Great Wigborough, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
FAQs for Great Wigborough
Can you do new build mastic in Great Wigborough?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Wigborough is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Wigborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Great Wigborough can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Wigborough
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Great Wigborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
