About our new build mastic in Heath End

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers.

Work in a small place like Heath End just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Heath End and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work can’t fix

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant

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

What we seal

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

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Heath End, the journey is planned in advance: 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. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice

Different surfaces, different methods

Skirting and floors

Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it painted or coloured to suit.

Show homes

Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?

A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Heath End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Questions from Heath End

Can you do new build mastic in Heath End?

Yes, Heath End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is Heath End within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Is there any odour?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?

No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.

Which products do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
