Is Lye Green in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Lye Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
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. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
New build mastic in Lye Green, done properly
Across Lye Green, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Lye Green 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, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lye Green
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lye Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Advice
Joints and finishes in Lye Green homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Berkhamsted station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Common problems we fix in Lye Green
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The most common problems we see are:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Lye Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
