How we handle new build mastic in Redbridge
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. If you’re dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

New build mastic around Redbridge
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Ilford station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In Redbridge, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

When to call us in Redbridge
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
As a London address, Redbridge can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

FAQs for Redbridge
Do you cover Redbridge for new build mastic?
Yes, Redbridge is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Redbridge?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we will say so.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
