Trusted new build mastic in Walworth

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year

Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Walworth

Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you are dealing with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites 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 Walworth and beyond.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How we quote for new build mastic

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • The amount of work
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How many areas need sealing

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • The type of property
  • Where the property is
  • The rough size of the job
  • How we’d reach the joints

There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface

Bathrooms and en suites

En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.

Show homes

In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.

New build mastic around Walworth

Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

Walworth is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you’ve bought a new home near Elephant & Castle station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why deal with it now?

Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process

Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Walworth. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
