About our new build mastic in White Colne
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across White Colne. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like White Colne often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in White Colne
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around White Colne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
What we are called out for in White Colne
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
If you’ve bought a new home near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like White Colne, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
