Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around High Beech, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why High Beech customers choose us
- Tidy, careful work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

New build mastic for homes and businesses in High Beech
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. If you’re dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help.
Older homes in small places like High Beech often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

High Beech: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like High Beech?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Chingford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
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 I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
Common problems we fix in High Beech
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around High Beech, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like High Beech needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
