- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Plaistow Green
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Somewhere as small as Plaistow Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Plaistow Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.

Plaistow Green: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Ascot station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Plaistow Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Plaistow Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Plaistow Green
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Plaistow Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- You choose the colour before work begins

When to call us in Plaistow Green
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Ascot station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
