About our new build mastic in Chingford
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We are often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
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’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Questions from Chingford
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Chingford?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is Chingford in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Chingford 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 give you a clear price.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.

What new build mastic looks like in Chingford
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, 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 snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.

Signs you need new build mastic in Chingford
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
For new homes near Chingford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Record problems with dated photos
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
