New build mastic in Ide Hill

Across Ide Hill, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.

Work in a small place like Ide Hill just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the quote in Ide Hill

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The type of sealant required

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Where the property is
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The problem you’ve noticed

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

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

Windows and doors

Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.

Honest limits

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do I have to be there?

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

What we do, step by step

We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Ide Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives

Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.

A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

Signs you need new build mastic in Ide Hill

Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.

The problems people normally mention when they call are:

  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
  • Internal frame sealant that has split
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away

For new homes near Sevenoaks station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether VAT is included
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Are they insured?
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
