About our new build mastic in Grange Mills
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and second-fix sealing on new plots, across skirting & floors, windows & doors 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.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Questions from Grange Mills
Is Grange Mills in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Grange Mills is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Grange Mills?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you need new build mastic in Grange Mills?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Balham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Joints and finishes in Grange Mills homes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, 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 snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
