New build mastic in Brent Pelham
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Brent Pelham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Brent Pelham
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
For jobs in and around Brent Pelham, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote

- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Brent Pelham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated photos
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Common questions in Brent Pelham
Is Brent Pelham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Brent Pelham?
All our work, in Brent Pelham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
New build mastic in Brent Pelham: local notes
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.
