New build mastic in Stanmore
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between new skirting and floors and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Work in a small place like Stanmore just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Stanmore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
