New build mastic in Locks Heath, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and internal frame sealant that has split.
For a new home in or near Locks Heath, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Locks Heath as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What new build mastic looks like in Locks Heath
Locks Heath is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Swanwick station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Locks Heath, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to Locks Heath is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

- Whether the work is at height
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Locks Heath
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
