About our new build mastic in Balstonia
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Balstonia. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Balstonia, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. A visit to Balstonia is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
New homes and floors in Balstonia
Balstonia is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Stanford-Le-Hope station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balstonia
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Balstonia, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. Around Balstonia, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Balstonia
Will you come out to Balstonia?
Yes. Balstonia is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stanford-Le-Hope station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
What affects the quote in Balstonia
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you are in Balstonia and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
What we are called out for in Balstonia
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Balstonia, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen
