When it is not the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we seal

  • Windows & doors
  • Show homes
  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Plot handovers
  • Skirting & floors
  • Kitchens

New build mastic in Blue Bell Hill, done properly

Across Blue Bell Hill, 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: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.

Work in a small place like Blue Bell Hill just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?

A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we will tell you. Around Blue Bell Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What you get with us

  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work

New build mastic in Blue Bell Hill: local notes

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
  • Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Use the extractor fan every time you shower
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives

Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

What we’re called out for in Blue Bell Hill

New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Internal frame sealant that has split

For new homes near Snodland station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Before you book anyone

  • Which colour the sealant will be

Choosing a sealant specialist

How we quote for new build mastic

You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • The product the joint needs
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Any mould that needs treating

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The rough size of the job

We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Blue Bell Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Common questions in Blue Bell Hill

Is Blue Bell Hill within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across 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 you help a landlord with a rental near Snodland station?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

How long will you be here?

That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?

If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
