How it works

The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in East Village. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare

New build mastic for homes and businesses in East Village
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers alike.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in East Village, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.

Common problems we fix in East Village
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For new homes near Stratford International station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic around East Village
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
As a London address, East Village can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
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
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Your questions about new build mastic in East Village
I let a flat near Stratford International station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in East Village?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
