New build mastic for homes and businesses in Upper Halling
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and sealant work across a run of new homes, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Around Upper Halling, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Upper Halling questions
I let a flat near Halling station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Upper Halling within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we’ll give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
