How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
How we handle new build mastic in Westbourne Green
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and second-fix sealing on new plots.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

New build mastic around Westbourne Green
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near London Paddington station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Signs you need new build mastic in Westbourne Green
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
As a London address, Westbourne Green can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Westbourne Green. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Westbourne Green, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Westbourne Green
