How we handle new build mastic in Kingston Gorse

Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on kitchens, show homes and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.

Older homes in small places like Kingston Gorse often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

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

Surfaces we seal

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

Why act early in Kingston Gorse

The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a small place like Kingston Gorse, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Kingston Gorse: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Do you cover Kingston Gorse for new build mastic?

Yes, Kingston Gorse is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?

There are generally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.

How long before the joint can be used?

Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we will say so.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?

No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.

What new build mastic looks like in Kingston Gorse

Kingston Gorse is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

For new homes near Goring-By-Sea station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Kingston Gorse, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The size of the job
  • How easy the joints are to reach

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What happens on the day

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Kingston Gorse, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
