Leave it or put it right?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Speen, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour agreed with you before we start

New build mastic in Speen, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
In a village or hamlet like Speen, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Speen, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Speen questions
Do you cover Speen for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Speen is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Speen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can I send you my snagging list?

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.

- The number and length of the joints

- Where the job is, and your postcode

Common problems we fix in Speen
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
The most common problems we see are:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
In and around Speen, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
