New build mastic in Cheam, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Cheam as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Cheam. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Why act early in Cheam
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Cheam, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What new build mastic looks like in Cheam
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
As a London address, Cheam can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Places near Cheam
What else we do in Cheam
Do you need new build mastic in Cheam?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
For new homes near Cheam station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
