New build mastic in St Denys, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We are often asked to deal with kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and internal frame sealant that has split, on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like St Denys, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

New homes and floors in St Denys
St Denys is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around St Denys, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near St Denys station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. In a smaller place like St Denys, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around St Denys, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

St Denys questions
Do you work for landlords with property near St Denys station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like St Denys?
Yes, St Denys is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover St Denys and the rest of Southampton, along with the rest of our area.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Landlord and commercial work in St Denys
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
