About our new build mastic in South Bermondsey
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across South Bermondsey. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors alike.
New flats are going up across London, many of them 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. In a London area like South Bermondsey, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Joints and finishes in South Bermondsey homes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For new homes near South Bermondsey station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in South Bermondsey?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
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 send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you need new build mastic in South Bermondsey?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracked sealant shows up.
The most common problems we see are:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
South Bermondsey is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What affects the quote in South Bermondsey

- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
