How we handle new build mastic in Walkern
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Work in a small place like Walkern just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Your questions about new build mastic in Walkern
Can you do new build mastic in Walkern?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Walkern is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
