Ickford: your questions answered
Is Ickford in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ickford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Ickford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
New build mastic in Ickford
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
For a small place like Ickford, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Ickford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.
Related advice
Do you need new build mastic in Ickford?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Whether the job is in Ickford itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ickford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated photos
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
