- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
How we handle new build mastic in Wallend
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, plot handovers and show homes alike.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover, in Wallend and beyond.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Plot handovers
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In Wallend, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

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