When to call us in Stowting
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Westenhanger station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?

Common questions in Stowting
Is Stowting in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stowting is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westenhanger station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Stowting, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlord and commercial work in Stowting
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
