New build mastic in Harefield
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Harefield. 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. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help, whatever the surface. Some people call us the mastic man, others the silicone man or the sealant specialist, but the work in Harefield is the same: proper preparation and the right sealant for every joint.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Harefield as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Joints and finishes in Harefield homes
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
As a London address, Harefield can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What we are called out for in Harefield
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Denham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In Harefield, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Common questions in Harefield
I let a flat near Denham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Harefield?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
