Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle new build mastic in Wallington
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Wallington, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
New homes and floors in Wallington
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Common questions in Wallington
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashwell & Morden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Wallington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
What we’re called out for in Wallington
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Wallington, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
