Leave it or put it right?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In a small place like Throwley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about new build mastic in Throwley
Do you cover Throwley for new build mastic?
Yes, Throwley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Throwley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Common problems we fix in Throwley
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Throwley, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare

- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
