About our new build mastic in Morestead
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help.
Work in a small place like Morestead just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a small place like Morestead, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

More services for Morestead
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What we’re called out for in Morestead
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Around Morestead, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Morestead
Will you come out to Morestead?
Yes. Morestead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Shawford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Landlord and commercial work in Morestead
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Joints and finishes in Morestead homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Shawford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Morestead
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we’ll tell you. In a small place like Morestead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
