How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
About our new build mastic in Gospel Oak
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 rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We are often asked to deal with second-fix sealing on new plots and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
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, in Gospel Oak and beyond.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Gospel Oak. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When to call us in Gospel Oak
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
Gospel Oak is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
