Common problems we fix in Soldridge
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For jobs in and around Soldridge, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How we handle new build mastic in Soldridge
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across windows & doors, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Soldridge, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about new build mastic in Soldridge
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Soldridge?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Soldridge?
Yes, Soldridge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Soldridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
