How the job changes 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 in a colour to suit.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
New build mastic in Monkhams, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, on windows & doors, show homes and skirting & floors alike.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What new build mastic looks like in Monkhams
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Highams Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. As a London address, Monkhams can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What’s near Monkhams
Around Monkhams, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Woodford Green Preparatory School, The Highams Park and Trinity Catholic High School. The nearest railway station is Highams Park station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Why act early in Monkhams
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a flat in Monkhams, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In Monkhams, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
