New build mastic in Hare Street, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Hare Street. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Older homes in small places like Hare Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Questions from Hare Street
Is Hare Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Hare Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is new build mastic in Hare Street guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
New homes and floors in Hare Street
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Hare Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hare Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we are called out for in Hare Street
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Whether the job is in Hare Street itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What else we do in Hare Street
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
