Trusted new build mastic in Farley Wood

New build mastic in Farley Wood

We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you are dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can help, on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites alike.

For a new home in or near Farley Wood, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we’re called out for in Farley Wood

When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles

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

Choosing a sealant specialist

What affects the cost of new build mastic

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • The type of sealant required
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Whether the work is at height

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.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • The rough size of the job
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Where the property is

Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

The process

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. A visit to Farley Wood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Before we arrive

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice

Common questions in Farley Wood

Can you do new build mastic in Farley Wood?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Farley Wood is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.

Do you cover smaller places like Farley Wood?

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.

Does someone need to be in?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

How long should I leave it?

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

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.

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

Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we can reseal it properly.

Will it make a mess?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Honest limits

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

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

Leave it or put it right?

The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In an older home around Farley Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
