Why it’s worth doing now in Camberwell
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

New build mastic in Camberwell, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
What affects the quote in Camberwell
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

New homes and floors in Camberwell
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For new homes near Denmark Hill station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote with our one-year guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
