DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Wittersham
Across Wittersham, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wittersham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

FAQs for Wittersham
Do you work for landlords with property near Rye station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Wittersham for new build mastic?
Yes, Wittersham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Wittersham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why act early in Wittersham
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Wittersham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need new build mastic in Wittersham
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Rye station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated photos
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
