About our new build mastic in Greenhill
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
In and around Greenhill, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about new build mastic in Greenhill
Can you do new build mastic in Greenhill?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Greenhill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Greenhill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How we quote for new build mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. A visit to Greenhill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.

Greenhill is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need new build mastic in Greenhill
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Herne Bay station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
