Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In a small place like Langham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Langham
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
In a village or hamlet like Langham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Langham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Signs you need new build mastic in Langham
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Langham, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Follow the cure time we give you
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. 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.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
