New homes and floors in Adelphi
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near London Charing Cross station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Adelphi
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Adelphi as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Do you need new build mastic in Adelphi?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
As a London address, Adelphi can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
