New build mastic in Kemprow, done properly
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 kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps between new skirting and floors and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
For a small place like Kemprow, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kemprow as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Kemprow, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Around Kemprow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need new build mastic in Kemprow
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Radlett station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

Kemprow: your questions answered
I let a flat near Radlett station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Kemprow for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kemprow is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
