About our new build mastic in Harold Park

In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.

If you’ve bought a new home in or near Harold Park, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What we’re called out for in Harold Park

The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles

In and around Harold Park, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

  • The size of the job
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Where the property is
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.

Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

New build mastic in Harold Park: local notes

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

For new homes near Harold Wood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

The process

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. For a job in Harold Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Getting a quote
