About our new build mastic in North Watford
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about frame joints opening as the plaster dries and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
In and around North Watford, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
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.
What we’re called out for in North Watford
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around North Watford, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether you can choose the colour
The process
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 anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in North Watford, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- 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.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
