New homes and floors in Letchworth
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Letchworth is one of England’s garden cities, planned in the early twentieth century. Homes range from the original garden city houses to newer developments, so older floors and new-home snagging both come up.
Around Letchworth, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle new build mastic in Letchworth
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about skirting joints opening in the first winter and second-fix sealing on new plots.
Shops and business units around Letchworth have floors that see a lot of traffic. Joints at thresholds and in tiled or concrete floors need resealing before the edges start to break up.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit in Letchworth needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Common problems we fix in Letchworth
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
The most common problems we see are:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Letchworth Garden City station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What else we do in Letchworth
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

Why it’s worth doing now in Letchworth
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In Letchworth, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
