New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bishopsgate
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Bishopsgate. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.

What we’re called out for in Bishopsgate
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near London Liverpool Street station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Bishopsgate. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
New homes and floors in Bishopsgate
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
As a London address, Bishopsgate can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
