New Build Mastic in Abbey Wood
Our applicators work in Abbey Wood on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
New build mastic in Abbey Wood
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for sealant work across a run of new homes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Abbey Wood as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In Abbey Wood, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What we are called out for in Abbey Wood
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Abbey Wood is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
