How we handle new build mastic in Woking
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include sealant work across a run of new homes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Commercial units around a large town like Woking generally have concrete floors with joints that need filling and resealing as they wear. Homes need the same attention on a smaller scale, from skirting joints to shower seals.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woking
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. In a busy place like Woking, a failed joint in a flat or office can send water into the space below, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
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.
Woking questions
Do you cover Woking for new build mastic?
Yes, Woking is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.

Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can, and we will quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.

Advice
When to call us in Woking
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
If you’ve bought a new home near Woking station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
