How we handle new build mastic in Church End
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help, whatever the surface.
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, in Church End as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Joints and finishes in Church End homes
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near New Southgate station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. For a job in Church End, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What else we do in Church End
What affects the quote in Church End
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Church End
Do you cover Church End for new build mastic?
Yes, Church End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near New Southgate station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
When to call us in Church End
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
As a London address, Church End can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
