Landlords, agents and businesses in Laddingford
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How we handle new build mastic in Laddingford
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Around Laddingford, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we are called out for in Laddingford
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For new homes near Beltring station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
