What we’re called out for in Lilyvale
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Lilyvale, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we quote for new build mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Lilyvale
Do you cover smaller places like Lilyvale?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job.

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.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Lilyvale
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with photos and we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lilyvale can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
