What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Norwood End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
About our new build mastic in Norwood End
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Norwood End, 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Common problems we fix in Norwood End
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
In and around Norwood End, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Norwood End
Do you cover Norwood End for new build mastic?
Yes, Norwood End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Norwood End?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we’ll quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Norwood End?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
