What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Somewhere like Westwood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.

What affects the quote in Westwood
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in Westwood
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Bekesbourne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Westwood?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
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 tell you what we are using.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated photos
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
