Trusted new build mastic in Hunton

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

New build mastic in Hunton

A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We are often asked to deal with new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.

Work in a small place like Hunton just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What new build mastic looks like in Hunton

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

If you’ve bought a new home near Yalding station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Hunton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hunton

DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hunton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

If you manage several properties in or around Hunton, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

What affects the quote in Hunton

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • How many areas need sealing
  • Access and height
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Helping us quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • The type of property
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

The process

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Hunton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice

What the job involves on each surface

Kitchens

As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

Skirting and floors

New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

FAQs for Hunton

Will you come out to Hunton?

Yes. Hunton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Yalding station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

What information do you need?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

Do you use white or clear sealant?

Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.

How long will you be here?

Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Is it messy?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

What sealant work cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Cracking that points to a structural problem

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
