When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lambourne
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Lambourne, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

Related advice
Do you need new build mastic in Lambourne?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Lambourne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lambourne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
