How we handle new build mastic in Potters Corner
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Typical jobs include cracked sealant around new window and door frames and skirting joints opening in the first winter, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Potters Corner often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated photos
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Landlord and commercial work in Potters Corner
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
