Common problems we fix in Shipley
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
For new homes near Billingshurst station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Shipley
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Work in a small place like Shipley just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Shipley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
