Leave it or put it right?
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. In a small place like Langley Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we handle new build mastic in Langley Common
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We are often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across kitchens, windows & doors and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Langley Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers

Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Langley Common questions
Do you cover Langley Common for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Langley Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Langley Common?
Yes. Langley Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does new build mastic cost in Langley Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Langley Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
