How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Havering's Grove?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Havering's Grove
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you’re dealing with sealant work across a run of new homes and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Havering's Grove, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Havering's Grove can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What we are called out for in Havering's Grove
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
