Your questions about new build mastic in Gallowstree Common
Do you cover smaller places like Gallowstree Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Gallowstree Common for new build mastic?
Yes, Gallowstree Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
About our new build mastic in Gallowstree Common
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Older homes in small places like Gallowstree Common often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gallowstree Common as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What else we do in Gallowstree Common
What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gallowstree Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Gallowstree Common
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Internal frame sealant that has split
For new homes near Tilehurst station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
