New build mastic for homes and businesses in Southfields
Across Southfields, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Around Southfields, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Southfields and everywhere else we cover.

New build mastic around Southfields
Southfields is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Stanford-Le-Hope station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Places near Southfields
What else we do in Southfields
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a small place like Southfields, access is normally 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.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common questions in Southfields
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stanford-Le-Hope station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Southfields?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Southfields is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What does new build mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Why act early in Southfields
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures and we’ll tell you. Around Southfields, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What affects the quote in Southfields
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Southfields
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
Around Southfields, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
