About our new build mastic in Woodford Wells
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

New build mastic around Woodford Wells
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
If you’ve bought a new home near Highams Park station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a London area like Woodford Wells, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Woodford Wells questions
Do you cover Woodford Wells for new build mastic?
Yes, Woodford Wells is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is parking a problem for a job in Woodford Wells?
Parking in Woodford Wells, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Woodford Wells.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
