How we handle new build mastic in Cannon Hill

For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right.

Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

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

How the visit works

Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In Cannon Hill, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Before we arrive

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.

Bathrooms and en suites

Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cannon Hill

DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Cannon Hill.

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.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The number and length of the joints

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.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • The rough size of the job
  • The type of property

Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.

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.

New homes and floors in Cannon Hill

Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

As a London address, Cannon Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you’ve bought a new home near South Merton station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
