About our new build mastic in North Lee
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across North Lee. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about messy sealant that spoils new finishes and cracked caulk along new skirting.
For a small place like North Lee, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What we’re called out for in North Lee
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around North Lee, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How hidden problems are handled
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as North Lee, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Questions from North Lee
I let a flat near Stoke Mandeville station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover North Lee for new build mastic?
Yes, North Lee is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
