About our new build mastic in Ivybridge
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. Typical jobs include sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across show homes, skirting & floors and kitchens.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ivybridge and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Ivybridge. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Ivybridge questions
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Ivybridge?
Parking in Ivybridge, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you cover Ivybridge for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ivybridge is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What new build mastic looks like in Ivybridge
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Ivybridge is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Ivybridge
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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
If you’ve bought a new home near Twickenham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
