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.

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.
