About our new build mastic in Monkswood
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Work in a small place like Monkswood just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Your questions about new build mastic in Monkswood
Do you cover Monkswood for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Monkswood is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Monkswood within the area you cover?
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.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Monkswood.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
