When something else is needed

- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Picketts Lock
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant work across a run of new homes.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Picketts Lock
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What affects the quote in Picketts Lock
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
Questions from Picketts Lock
Do you cover Picketts Lock for new build mastic?
Yes, Picketts Lock is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ponders End station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Record problems with dated photos
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Joints and finishes in Picketts Lock homes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Picketts Lock is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you’ve bought a new home near Ponders End station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
