New build mastic in Woodlands
Across Woodlands, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Woodlands as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Woodlands and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. For a job in Woodlands, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

FAQs for Woodlands
Can you do new build mastic in Woodlands?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woodlands is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Woodlands?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you need new build mastic in Woodlands?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
Woodlands is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
New build mastic around Woodlands
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For new homes near Isleworth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodlands
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Woodlands, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
