From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in East End of London as anywhere.

Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What happens on the day

It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a London area like East End of London, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.

Advice
Signs you need new build mastic in East End of London
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Shadwell station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
Joints and finishes in East End of London homes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

Your questions about new build mastic in East End of London
Can parking be tricky for a visit in East End of London?
Parking in East End of London, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
I let a flat near Shadwell station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in East End of London?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a flat in East End of London, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What you get with us

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
