About our new build mastic in Redbridge
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. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
For a small place like Redbridge, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Redbridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Questions from Redbridge
Is Redbridge in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Redbridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Redbridge?
Yes, Redbridge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
