How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Taplow, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
About our new build mastic in Taplow
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Taplow often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Taplow: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Taplow station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Taplow for new build mastic?
Yes, Taplow is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Taplow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Quotes for new build mastic in Taplow
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Do you need new build mastic in Taplow?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Taplow station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
