Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
New build mastic in Maidenbower, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant work across a run of new homes, on plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens.
Homes around Maidenbower range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maidenbower as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What we are called out for in Maidenbower
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Maidenbower, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In an older home around Maidenbower, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Parking around Maidenbower is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Joints and finishes in Maidenbower homes
Crawley, which Maidenbower is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Crawley has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town, so brand-new homes and homes from the post-war decades sit within a short drive of each other. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging. The South East is one of 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 Three Bridges station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
