Shenley: your questions answered
Do you cover Shenley for new build mastic?
Yes, Shenley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Shenley?
Yes. Shenley 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.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we can reseal it properly.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
What we are called out for in Shenley
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Radlett station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
