Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
