New Build Mastic in South Acton
Our applicators work in South Acton on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in South Acton. 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.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

New build mastic in South Acton, done properly
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. If you have cracks appearing as a new home settles and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Acton
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in South Acton, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Your questions about new build mastic in South Acton
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in South Acton?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is South Acton in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and South Acton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
