For a village or hamlet like Thorpe Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit

How we handle new build mastic in Thorpe Green
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you’re dealing with second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Thorpe Green just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in Thorpe Green
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Look out for these signs:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Virginia Water station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surface by surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Joints and finishes in Thorpe Green homes
London and the South East are among 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 to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
