About our new build mastic in Rayners Lane
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 skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant work across a run of new homes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Rayners Lane, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Why act early in Rayners Lane
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. In Rayners Lane, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Your questions about new build mastic in Rayners Lane
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Rayners Lane?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you do new build mastic in Rayners Lane?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rayners Lane is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we’ll quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Joints and finishes in Rayners Lane 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 snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Rayners Lane 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 Northolt Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What else we do in Rayners Lane
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
