Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Skeete, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

About our new build mastic in Skeete
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. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Skeete just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Skeete as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Skeete
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Westenhanger station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we’ll quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
