New build mastic for Bennett End homes and businesses

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bennett End

We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that is what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks appearing as a new home settles and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.

Somewhere as small as Bennett End, 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.

Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Bennett End and across Buckinghamshire.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.

If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Questions from Bennett End

I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Will you come out to Bennett End?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can I do it myself?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

How long should I leave it?

Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

What colour sealant will you use?

Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.

Do the sealants smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

How much does new build mastic cost in Bennett End?

Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods

Skirting and floors

As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.

Show homes

We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.

How the visit works

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Bennett End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Why deal with it now?

Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Bennett End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
