About our new build mastic in Perry Green
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you’re dealing with second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Perry Green just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. 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 village or hamlet like Perry Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What else we do in Perry Green
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Perry Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
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 protects the rest of the house.
