About our new build mastic in Great Holland
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Around Great Holland, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What sealant work can’t fix

Great Holland questions
Is Great Holland in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Holland is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Kirby Cross station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Holland
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Holland, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Common problems we fix in Great Holland
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Kirby Cross station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Great Holland is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
In and around Great Holland, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
