How we handle new build mastic in Weald
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
Around Weald, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Weald, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Weald
Do you cover smaller places like Weald?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Weald?
All our work, in Weald and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Weald and across Oxfordshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
