Professional new build mastic in and around Aldborough Hatch, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Aldborough Hatch
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Aldborough Hatch as everywhere else we work.

New build mastic around Aldborough Hatch
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Goodmayes station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Your questions about new build mastic in Aldborough Hatch
I let a flat near Goodmayes station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Aldborough Hatch?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up.

Advice
What affects the quote in Aldborough Hatch
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a flat in Aldborough Hatch, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
