FAQs for Surrey Quays
Is Surrey Quays in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Surrey Quays is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Surrey Quays?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How we handle new build mastic in Surrey Quays
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Surrey Quays. 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. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

New build mastic around Surrey Quays
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
As a London address, Surrey Quays can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Surrey Quays
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?

- You choose the colour before work begins

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.

What we are called out for in Surrey Quays
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
For new homes near Surrey Quays station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
