Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone

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.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.

New build mastic in Great Stonar, done properly

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. We’re often asked to deal with sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.

For a small place like Great Stonar, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

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

How it works

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Great Stonar, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Preparing for the visit

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

New build mastic around Great Stonar

Great Stonar is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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 Sandwich station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

FAQs for Great Stonar

Is Great Stonar within the area you cover?

Yes, Great Stonar is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

What should I tell you?

Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Great Stonar?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

Is it messy?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?

It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.

When it is not the sealant

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

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

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Stonar

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Signs you need new build mastic in Great Stonar

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.

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

  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
  • New-build shower sealant that has already split
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover

Around Great Stonar, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Questions to ask before you book
