New build mastic in Breach, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Breach often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

New build mastic around Breach
Breach is close to 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Breach, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Newington station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Breach: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Breach?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 cover Breach for new build mastic?
Yes, Breach is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Skirting & floors
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Breach, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Breach, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
