Trusted new build mastic in Hurstbourne Tarrant

How the visit works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Hurstbourne Tarrant needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  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, with no layer left behind.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Hurstbourne Tarrant

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.

In a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Tarrant, 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.

Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Hurstbourne Tarrant and across Hampshire.

When it isn’t the sealant

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

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

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Aftercare tips

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
  • Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives

Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.

Plot handovers

Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.
