West Barnes New Build Mastic
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for householders, landlords and businesses in West Barnes. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

New build mastic in West Barnes, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens alike.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in West Barnes as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Questions from West Barnes
Do you work for landlords with property near Motspur Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in West Barnes?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In West Barnes, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- 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.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
