New build mastic in Ickenham

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Ickenham

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. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and shower seals failing in the first year or two.

London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

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

Is Ickenham in your area for new build mastic?

Yes, Ickenham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Should I go to my builder first?

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How long before the joint can be used?

Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Should I try it myself first?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How the visit works

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home. In Ickenham, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  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. 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Advice

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.

Skirting and floors

Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
  • Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop

Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

New build mastic in Ickenham: local notes
