Why act early in South Ambersham

A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like South Ambersham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.

How we handle new build mastic in South Ambersham

In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.

Around South Ambersham, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in South Ambersham and everywhere else we cover.

  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Record problems with dated pictures
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water

Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.

Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

How the visit works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like South Ambersham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

  • New-build shower sealant that has already split
  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface

In and around South Ambersham, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
