About our new build mastic in Clapton
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant work across a run of new homes, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens.
Around Clapton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clapton
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clapton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

New build mastic around Clapton
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.
For new homes near Kintbury station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Clapton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Clapton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
