About our new build mastic in Lee Common
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. Typical jobs include internal frame sealant that has split and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across kitchens, windows & doors and plot handovers.
In a village or hamlet like Lee Common, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Lee Common
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For new homes near Great Missenden station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Record problems with dated pictures
- 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, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
