New build mastic near Fulwell

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

How we handle new build mastic in Fulwell

Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help.

Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover, in Fulwell and beyond.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition

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

  • Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period

Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.

Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

Joints and finishes in Fulwell homes

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.

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

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

If you manage several properties in or around Fulwell, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we seal

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

Surface by surface

Plot handovers

Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.

Windows and doors

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

How the visit works

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In Fulwell, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  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. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Do you need new build mastic in Fulwell?

Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away

Fulwell is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

  • How the colour is chosen
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
