- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Clay Hill, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Colour picked to suit the job
How we handle new build mastic in Clay Hill
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We are often asked to deal with sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Clay Hill and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Clay Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clay Hill
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic in Clay Hill: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Clay Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Clay Hill questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Clay Hill?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you do new build mastic in Clay Hill?
Yes, Clay Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
What we are called out for in Clay Hill
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Gordon Hill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
