New build mastic for homes and businesses in Thorington Street
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Thorington Street. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Somewhere as small as Thorington Street, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thorington Street
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Thorington Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New build mastic around Thorington Street
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Whether the job is in Thorington Street itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Landlord and commercial work in Thorington Street
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
When to call us in Thorington Street
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Thorington Street, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Thorington Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
