About our new build mastic in Ilford
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Ilford and beyond.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Ilford: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ilford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Ilford for new build mastic?
Yes, Ilford 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.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. In a London area like Ilford, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

What new build mastic looks like in Ilford
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Ilford is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For new homes near Ilford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Why act early in Ilford
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
