When to call us in Latimer
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Latimer, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Latimer
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Around Latimer, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Latimer
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chalfont & Latimer station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Latimer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
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 normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Latimer, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What else we do in Latimer
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
What affects the quote in Latimer
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Latimer
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Latimer can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
What new build mastic looks like in Latimer
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
