How we handle new build mastic in Moor Street
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Moor Street. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Moor Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Quotes for new build mastic in Moor Street
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
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.
Questions from Moor Street
Do you cover Moor Street for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Moor Street is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we will say so.
New build mastic in Moor Street: local notes
Moor Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Moor Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Signs you need new build mastic in Moor Street
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Rainham (Kent) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Moor Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Moor Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
