New build mastic for Copse Hill homes and businesses

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Copse Hill

We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes.

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.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The number and length of the joints
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Asking for a quote

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

  • Where the property is
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

For new build mastic in Copse Hill, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

What happens on the day

Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. For a job in Copse Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  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 down to clean surfaces.
  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. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Clear the area around the work

New build mastic in Copse Hill: local notes

Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger 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.

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

Keeping the joints in good condition

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early

Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

Do you need new build mastic in Copse Hill?

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • New-build shower sealant that has already split
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list

Copse Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Our hiring checklist

Surface by surface

Bathrooms and en suites

Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.

Plot handovers

Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.

Landlord and commercial work in Copse Hill

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

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

Questions from Copse Hill

Do you work for landlords with property near Raynes Park station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Can you do new build mastic in Copse Hill?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Copse Hill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Will the old sealant be removed?

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

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.

Do you use white or clear sealant?

It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We will agree it with you first.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
