New build mastic in Streatham

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 with a sealant suited to each area. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

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.

Our work is backed for twelve months.

How it works

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Before we arrive

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Streatham

Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Second-fix sealing on new plots
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries

Streatham is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is chosen
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • What the cure time is

Our hiring checklist

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Plot handovers
  • Windows & doors
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Show homes
  • Skirting & floors
  • Kitchens

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether the work is at height
  • Any working-time requirements on site

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

  • Where the property is
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • The rough size of the job
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

New homes and floors in Streatham

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. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

For new homes near Streatham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Bathrooms and en suites

En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
