New build mastic for homes and businesses in Highbrook

Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can put it right.

Somewhere as small as Highbrook, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we do, step by step

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Highbrook, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

How to prepare

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Joints and finishes in Highbrook homes

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

Leave it or put it right?

The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Highbrook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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 make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What you get with us

  • Rated 4.9 stars on Google
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Quotes for new build mastic in Highbrook

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • The size of the job
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.

Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.

Different surfaces, different methods

Bathrooms and en suites

Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.

Windows and doors

Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
