Common problems we fix in Puttenham
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Wanborough station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
What affects the quote in Puttenham
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Joints and finishes in Puttenham homes

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Puttenham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
Why act early in Puttenham
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Puttenham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from Puttenham
Will you come out to Puttenham?
Yes. Puttenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wanborough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
