Common questions in Bakers Arms
I let a flat near Leyton Midland Road station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bakers Arms?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Bakers Arms, along with the rest of our area.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
New build mastic in Bakers Arms, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Joints and finishes in Bakers Arms homes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you’ve bought a new home near Leyton Midland Road station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we’re called out for in Bakers Arms
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Bakers Arms is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Bakers Arms, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Quotes for new build mastic in Bakers Arms
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit generally 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.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
