New-build mastic & snagging in Kinsbourne Green, Hertfordshire
Our applicators work in Kinsbourne Green on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
How we handle new build mastic in Kinsbourne Green
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you are dealing with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Kinsbourne Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Kinsbourne Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Kinsbourne Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Kinsbourne Green for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kinsbourne Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Kinsbourne Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
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. We cut the old bead out completely.
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. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
How long does the job 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’ll tell you how long to expect.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
