New build mastic in Tylerscross

How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tylerscross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Do you need new build mastic in Tylerscross?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near Roydon station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Tylerscross needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated photos
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
