New build mastic near Hunton Bridge

New build mastic in Hunton Bridge, done properly

A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and internal frame sealant that has split.

In a village or hamlet like Hunton Bridge, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
  • Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.

Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.

Joints and finishes in Hunton Bridge homes

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

In and around Hunton Bridge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Kings Langley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we seal

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

The process

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Hunton Bridge 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. 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. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
