- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we handle new build mastic in Park Gate
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We are often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and second-fix sealing on new plots, on windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Around Park Gate, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Park Gate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Do you need new build mastic in Park Gate?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
In and around Park Gate, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
