What we’re called out for in Swattenden
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Around Swattenden, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in Swattenden
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and cracked caulk along new skirting.
Around Swattenden, 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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Swattenden?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
