New-build mastic & snagging in Bromley, Hertfordshire
New-build sealant joints in Bromley need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

New build mastic in Bromley
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Older homes in small places like Bromley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Bromley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
FAQs for Bromley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bishops Stortford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Bromley in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Bromley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Around Bromley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need new build mastic in Bromley
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Bishops Stortford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
