How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Monks Orchard, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re 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.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property

- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

About our new build mastic in Monks Orchard
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When to call us in Monks Orchard
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for any of the following:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Monks Orchard is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

New build mastic around Monks Orchard

For new homes near Elmers End station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Your questions about new build mastic in Monks Orchard

Do you cover Monks Orchard for new build mastic?
Yes, Monks Orchard is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are generally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Monks Orchard?
There’s no set price, as it 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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items and we’ll give you a quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
