New build mastic in Hardwick

New build mastic in Hardwick

We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Hardwick. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Somewhere as small as Hardwick, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Hardwick needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Common problems we fix in Hardwick

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Sealant work across a run of new homes
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away

If you’ve bought a new home near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to choose a mastic man

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
  • Record problems with dated pictures
  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one

Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.

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.

How the job changes by surface

Windows and doors

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Skirting and floors

Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

Questions from Hardwick

Will you come out to Hardwick?

Yes, Hardwick is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you cover Hardwick for new build mastic?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hardwick is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Will you leave a mess?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

When something else is needed

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:

  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

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

What affects the quote in Hardwick

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

  • The type of property
  • Where the property is
  • The rough size of the job
