DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
New build mastic in Pains-Hill
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, across windows & doors, show homes and kitchens.
Work in a small place like Pains-Hill just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Questions from Pains-Hill
I let a flat near Hurst Green station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Pains-Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Pains-Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can, and we’ll quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods

Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Somewhere like Pains-Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What we are called out for in Pains-Hill
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Pains-Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Around Pains-Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
