What new build mastic looks like in Bighton

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Around Bighton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Bighton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How we handle new build mastic in Bighton

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.

For a small place like Bighton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface

Show homes

Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.

Windows and doors

External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

Should I try it myself first?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

For landlords and businesses

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In a small place like Bighton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Why book with us

  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • Tidy, careful work
  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
  • 12-month guarantee on every job

Common questions in Bighton

What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Bighton?

All our work, in Bighton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Can you do new build mastic in Bighton?

Yes, Bighton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?

That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

How much does new build mastic cost in Bighton?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.

How long will you be here?

It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

  • Plot handovers

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year

Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.

How the visit works

There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Bighton needs a little journey planning: 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
