DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
New build mastic in Winsor
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We’re often asked to deal with cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors.
Older homes in small places like Winsor often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Winsor
How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Winsor, 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 we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we are called out for in Winsor
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Winsor, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen

Common questions in Winsor
Is Winsor within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Winsor for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Winsor is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winsor
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Winsor can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
