About our new build mastic in Broom Hill

Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right.

Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover, in Broom Hill and beyond.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

New homes and floors in Broom Hill

Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

As a London address, Broom Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How to look after the new joints

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself

Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.

The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Common problems we fix in Broom Hill

If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.

The problems people normally mention when they call include:

  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
  • Second-fix sealing on new plots
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles

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

What your quote should include

  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • When the joint can take water or movement

Choosing a sealant specialist

How we quote for new build mastic

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • How easy the joints are to reach

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

What to tell us for a quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • How we’d reach the joints

We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

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.

When something else is needed

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

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

What we seal

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

Different surfaces, different methods

Skirting and floors

New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

Windows and doors

The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.

Common questions in Broom Hill

Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Broom Hill?

In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.

Is Broom Hill in your area for new build mastic?

Yes, Broom Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

When is the sealant fully cured?

It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Do I have to be there?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

How the visit works

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.

  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. New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
