About our new build mastic in North End
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on show homes, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Work in a small place like North End just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like North End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Signs you need new build mastic in North End
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around North End, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Questions from North End
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in North End?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is North End in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, North End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
