New build mastic in Tilford
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Tilford often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need new build mastic in Tilford?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Farnham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a small place like Tilford, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
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 over time.
