Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
New build mastic in Haultwick, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Older homes in small places like Haultwick often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What else we do in Haultwick
Do you need new build mastic in Haultwick?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Look out for these signs:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Around Haultwick, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Haultwick
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Haultwick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Haultwick: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Watton-At-Stone station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Haultwick within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
