New-build mastic & snagging in West Peckham, Kent
We cover West Peckham for plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

New build mastic in West Peckham, done properly
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. We’re often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes.
Somewhere as small as West Peckham, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Peckham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- You choose the colour before work begins

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like West Peckham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
West Peckham: your questions answered
Will you come out to West Peckham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover West Peckham for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Peckham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
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.
What we are called out for in West Peckham
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Wateringbury station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
