New build mastic for homes and businesses in Whetstone
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We’re often asked to deal with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Record problems with dated photos
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

What new build mastic looks like in Whetstone
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you’ve bought a new home near Oakleigh Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
When to call us in Whetstone
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
As a London address, Whetstone can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- How much experience the applicator has
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes 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 Whetstone. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
