About our new build mastic in Langley Bottom
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
In a village or hamlet like Langley Bottom, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
What we are called out for in Langley Bottom
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Langley Bottom, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Langley Bottom, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures. In a small place like Langley Bottom, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
