Joints and finishes in Wanstead homes
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. 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.
Wanstead is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For new homes near Leytonstone High Road station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Wanstead
Across Wanstead, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and kitchens, and people most often call us about sealant work across a run of new homes and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Wanstead. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
If you are in Wanstead and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
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. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
