DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
New build mastic in Donnybrook Quarter
Across Donnybrook Quarter, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, whatever the surface.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we’ll quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Donnybrook Quarter, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We are fully insured

New homes and floors in Donnybrook Quarter
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Hackney Wick station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. As a London address, Donnybrook Quarter can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

The process

- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Advice
FAQs for Donnybrook Quarter
Is parking a problem for a job in Donnybrook Quarter?
Parking in Donnybrook Quarter, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hackney Wick station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
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. Either can make it fail early.
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 will quote.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Donnybrook Quarter?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you cover Donnybrook Quarter?
We do. Our applicators work in Donnybrook Quarter.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
