- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
New build mastic in Dagenham Dock
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and second-fix sealing on new plots.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Dagenham Dock as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What sealant work cannot fix

- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- 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 you book.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
How it works
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, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In Dagenham Dock, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

When to call us in Dagenham Dock
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Dagenham Dock is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
New build mastic in Dagenham Dock: local notes

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

What else we do in Dagenham Dock
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.

For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
