How we handle new build mastic in Aldgate
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for gaps behind new kitchen upstands and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we’re called out for in Aldgate
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
Aldgate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
- What guarantee comes with the work
How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Aldgate
Can you help a landlord with a rental near London Fenchurch Street station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Aldgate?
Parking in Aldgate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Why act early in Aldgate
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Aldgate, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Colour picked to suit the job
- We never seal over old sealant
Take a look at what affects the cost or what customers say.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and agents in Aldgate can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. For a job in Aldgate, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
