When to call us in Horam
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Horam, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in Horam
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Horam, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
