New build mastic near Brompton

Leave it or put it right?

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Homes in smaller places like Brompton can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Why book with us

  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • Fully insured

New build mastic in Brompton

In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We are often asked to deal with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors.

For a new home in or near Brompton, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Brompton

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 and can tear.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

If you’ve bought a new home near Chatham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What to look for in a quote

  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Brompton, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.

How to look after the new joints

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
  • Keep pictures and emails about snagging items

Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

The process

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Brompton is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  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. Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Clear the area around the work

Common questions in Brompton

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

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Will you come out to Brompton?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

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.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Will it make a mess?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
