New build mastic in Bounds Green
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and second-fix sealing on new plots.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Bounds Green. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Joints and finishes in Bounds Green homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
