DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Linkhill, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Do you need new build mastic in Linkhill?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For jobs in and around Linkhill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
