Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.

New build mastic in Rotherbridge
Across Rotherbridge, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Rotherbridge, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Rotherbridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Why act early in Rotherbridge
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rotherbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We are fully insured
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
