New build mastic near Hatton

Should I try it myself first?

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

New build mastic in Hatton

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. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and gaps between new skirting and floors.

New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Record problems with dated photos

Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.

Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Your questions about new build mastic in Hatton

Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Hatton?

Parking in Hatton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

How long does new build mastic take?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Should I go to my builder first?

If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Will there be a smell?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Joints and finishes in Hatton homes

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

Hatton is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Surface by surface

Kitchens

As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.

Plot handovers

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first.

How we quote for new build mastic

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • The size of the job
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The rough size of the job
  • The type of property

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

How it works

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. In Hatton, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  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. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to get a quote

We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we are called out for in Hatton

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

If you’ve bought a new home near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What your quote should include

  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • How much experience the applicator has
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first

How to choose a mastic man

What happens if it’s left?

A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Hatton, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
