About our new build mastic in Woolmer Green
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers.
Work in a small place like Woolmer Green just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant

Woolmer Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Knebworth station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Woolmer Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we’ll quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are 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.
Joints and finishes in Woolmer Green homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Knebworth station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woolmer Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Woolmer Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
