How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Wadhurst is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

New build mastic in Wadhurst
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We’re often asked to deal with second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps between new skirting and floors, across plot handovers, show homes and skirting & floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Wadhurst, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In an older home around Wadhurst, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
