Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

Plot handovers

Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.

New build mastic in Greatham, done properly

For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you’re dealing with shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

For a small place like Greatham, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

  • The type of sealant required
  • Access and height
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • When we can work, for business premises

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The rough size of the job

We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When to call us in Greatham

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two
  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

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

How to choose a mastic man

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Record problems with dated photos
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day to cure enough for use.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.

FAQs for Greatham

Is Greatham in your area for new build mastic?

Yes, Greatham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.

Will you come out to Greatham?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?

Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Can you work from my snagging list?

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

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

How it works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Greatham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why act early in Greatham
