Mill Street New Build Mastic
We cover Mill Street for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Mill Street
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Mill Street often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Questions from Mill Street
Will you come out to Mill Street?
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.
Is new build mastic in Mill Street guaranteed?
All our work, in Mill Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Should I wait before resealing?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Mill Street, 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.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Signs you need new build mastic in Mill Street
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Mill Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Joints and finishes in Mill Street homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Whether the job is in Mill Street itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
