New build mastic near Further Quarter

What happens if it’s left?

If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like Further Quarter, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

FAQs for Further Quarter

I let a flat near Pluckley station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

Is Further Quarter in your area for new build mastic?

How much does new build mastic cost in Further Quarter?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can and we’ll give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.

Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?

No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?

A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Do you need new build mastic in Further Quarter?

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.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • New-build shower sealant that has already split
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries

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

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

The process

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Further Quarter, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
