About our new build mastic in Stone Copse
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on show homes, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Stone Copse often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
New homes and floors in Stone Copse
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Stone Copse needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Show homes
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
