Advice
Signs you need new build mastic in West Farleigh
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near East Farleigh station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before you book anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Do the sealants smell?
