How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots.

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.

Advice
New build mastic in Roke
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens.
Around Roke, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What affects the quote in Roke
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job

Why act early in Roke
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. Older cottages and farmhouses around Roke can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
