- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Millwall, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

How we handle new build mastic in Millwall
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover, in Millwall and beyond.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
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.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Do you work for developers?

Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can and we will give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Millwall?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Joints and finishes in Millwall homes
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. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For new homes near Deptford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

When to call us in Millwall
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.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
As a London address, Millwall can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
