What we are called out for in Gunville

Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors

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

Our hiring checklist

New build mastic in Gunville

New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

In a village or hamlet like Gunville, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
  • Keep photos and emails about snagging items

Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.

If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Your questions about new build mastic in Gunville

Is Gunville within the area you cover?

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.

Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Gunville?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Are you fully insured?

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

Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before we start.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchens

As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

Show homes

Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.

New homes and floors in Gunville

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Whether the job is in Gunville itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Quotes for new build mastic in Gunville

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The problem you’ve noticed

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Why deal with it now?

A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gunville can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Why choose Mr Mastic in Gunville

  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Colour picked to suit the job
  • ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • We never seal over old sealant

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunville

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.

How it works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Gunville needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
