Why act early in Hornchurch Marshes
DIY kits do not 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. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Hornchurch Marshes, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us

New build mastic in Hornchurch Marshes
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on windows & doors, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber

Landlord and commercial work in Hornchurch Marshes
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Hornchurch Marshes
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Dagenham Dock station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hornchurch Marshes?
Parking in Hornchurch Marshes, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
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.
