New build mastic for homes and businesses in Lord's Wood
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Lord's Wood, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lord's Wood as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Lord's Wood
Will you come out to Lord's Wood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Lord's Wood in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lord's Wood is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What colour sealant will you use?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Lord's Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Lord's Wood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Common problems we fix in Lord's Wood
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Lord's Wood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
