How we handle new build mastic in Elm Park
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and show homes, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
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 Elm Park as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Elm Park
Do you work for landlords with property near Emerson Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Elm Park?
Parking in Elm Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Should I wait before resealing?
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.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.

Why act early in Elm Park
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Elm Park clients choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Over 20 years’ experience
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Do you need new build mastic in Elm Park?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
As a London address, Elm Park can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Joints and finishes in Elm Park homes
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Emerson Park station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
