About our new build mastic in Hay Street
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and kitchens, and people most often call us about beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
Work in a small place like Hay Street just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Yes, Hay Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hay Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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 take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Hay Street, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Do you need new build mastic in Hay Street?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Hay Street, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Joints and finishes in Hay Street homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For jobs in and around Hay Street, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hay Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
