Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- New-build shower sealant that has already split

About our new build mastic in Horsenden
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps between new skirting and floors, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Horsenden just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why act early in Horsenden
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horsenden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- We are fully insured

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
