About our new build mastic in Upper Woolhampton
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Work in a small place like Upper Woolhampton just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Is Upper Woolhampton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Upper Woolhampton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
