New build mastic in Hoaden

How we handle new build mastic in Hoaden

Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Somewhere as small as Hoaden, 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.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can I do it myself?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What the job involves on each surface

Show homes

In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.

Windows and doors

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.

What affects the quote in Hoaden

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • The type of sealant required
  • Whether the work is at height
  • The size of the job

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • How we’d reach the joints

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.

How the visit works

We keep the work tidy 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. Somewhere like Hoaden needs a little journey planning: 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 we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Clear the area around the work

Your questions about new build mastic in Hoaden

Is Hoaden within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Minster station?

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

What does new build mastic cost?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Will there be a smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hoaden

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hoaden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Why us?

  • Fully insured
  • 20+ years of sealant experience
  • Tidy, careful work
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

When to call us in Hoaden

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • How long the guarantee is
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
