New build mastic in Southgate
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, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber

Southgate: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Southgate?
Yes, Southgate is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near New Southgate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. If it isn’t resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
What does new build mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Southgate, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take 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 Southgate. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic around Southgate
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
As a London address, Southgate can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For new homes near New Southgate station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Southgate gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
