When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
Look out for these signs:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Norwood Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.

Norwood Hill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Horley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Norwood Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a 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 before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
