New build mastic in Cessnock

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cessnock

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation 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.

New build mastic in Cessnock, done properly

Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help.

In older Scottish city flats, floors are often timber over joists, with skirting joints that open and close with the seasons. For a flat in Cessnock, a flexible sealant copes with that movement where filler would crack.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cessnock

Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a tenement flat in Cessnock, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.

What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water
  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.

Cessnock questions

What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Cessnock?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Exhibition Centre station?

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?

While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.

Do you work in Cessnock?

Where are you based?

We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

What we do, step by step

Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Cessnock, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

Joints and finishes in Cessnock homes

Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Cessnock is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.

What we are called out for in Cessnock

On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away

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