Common questions in Staplecross
Is Staplecross in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Staplecross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Staplecross?
Yes. Staplecross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

Why deal with it now?

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
