New build mastic in Brackenbury Village, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Brackenbury Village and beyond.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take 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. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you work on commercial sites?
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.
What affects the quote in Brackenbury Village
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New build mastic in Brackenbury Village: local notes
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. 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.
For new homes near Shepherds Bush station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
