New build mastic in Jacobs Well
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
Older homes in small places like Jacobs Well often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Jacobs Well as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Jacobs Well, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive

Advice
Why act early in Jacobs Well
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. In a small place like Jacobs Well, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant

Questions from Jacobs Well
Will you come out to Jacobs Well?
Yes, Jacobs Well is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Worplesdon station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated photos
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
What we are called out for in Jacobs Well
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Worplesdon station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
