- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
New build mastic in Honor Oak
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you are dealing with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can put it right.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Honor Oak as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Honor Oak
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Honor Oak Park station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Honor Oak?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you come to Honor Oak?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Honor Oak included.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
New build mastic around Honor Oak
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Honor Oak Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need new build mastic in Honor Oak?
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Honor Oak is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a job in Honor Oak, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Honor Oak, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- A choice of colours where the product allows
What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
