New-build mastic & snagging in Kitts End, Greater London
Our applicators work in Kitts End on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

How we handle new build mastic in Kitts End
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. We are often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
What affects the quote in Kitts End
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property

Kitts End questions
I let a flat near Hadley Wood station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Kitts End?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Kitts End?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Common problems we fix in Kitts End
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Kitts End is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
