Over Norton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Over Norton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Over Norton?
All our work, in Over Norton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
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. A proper reseal deals with both.
New build mastic in Over Norton
Across Over Norton, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
For a small place like Over Norton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Over Norton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
