What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
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.
New build mastic in Coldblow
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We’re often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps between new skirting and floors, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Coldblow and beyond.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Coldblow
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
As a London address, Coldblow can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
FAQs for Coldblow
Do you cover Coldblow for new build mastic?
Yes, Coldblow is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Coldblow?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Why act early in Coldblow
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Coldblow.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Joints and finishes in Coldblow homes
London and the South East are among 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 snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you’ve bought a new home near Bexley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. For a job in Coldblow, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
