How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- 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
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
New build mastic in Mugswell
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, plot handovers and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Mugswell and across Greater London.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Common questions in Mugswell
Is parking a problem for a job in Mugswell?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you cover Mugswell for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Mugswell is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
What new build mastic looks like in Mugswell
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. 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.
For new homes near Kingswood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

When to call us in Mugswell
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
As a London address, Mugswell can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
