About our new build mastic in Langley
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Langley, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Langley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Audley End station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Langley within the area you cover?
Yes, Langley is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Langley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

New build mastic around Langley

What’s near Langley
The closest station to Langley is Audley End station, about 4.5 miles east. Well-known places in the area include The Warren (1.6 miles west).
Should I try it myself first?
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.
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.
When to call us in Langley
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Audley End station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
