What sealant work cannot fix

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed

If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Show homes
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Skirting & floors
  • Kitchens
  • Plot handovers
  • Windows & doors

New build mastic in West Hendon, done properly

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can help.

New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.

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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Landlord and commercial work in West Hendon

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in West Hendon

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.

People generally contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover

If you’ve bought a new home near Hendon station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What affects the quote in West Hendon

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Access and height
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How many areas need sealing

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Helping us quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Where the property is
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

What we do, step by step

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in West Hendon, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Preparing for the visit

  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Leave it or put it right?

A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in West Hendon, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Can I do it myself?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it with our one-year guarantee.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?

For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
