New Build Mastic in Petersham
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Petersham? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
New build mastic in Petersham, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you are dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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.
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 we’re called out for in Petersham
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
If you’ve bought a new home near St Margarets (London) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What else we do in Petersham
What happens if it’s left?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- You choose the colour before work begins

Your questions about new build mastic in Petersham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Margarets (London) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Petersham?
Parking in Petersham, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved and we will quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Petersham?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What we do, step by step

What new build mastic looks like in Petersham

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
