New build mastic in Kingswood

New build mastic in Kingswood, done properly

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.

In a village or hamlet like Kingswood, 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.

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

Joints and finishes in Kingswood homes

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.

Around Kingswood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Kingswood itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Aftercare tips

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early

Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.

Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingswood

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

FAQs for Kingswood

What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Kingswood?

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Do you cover smaller places like Kingswood?

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

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

What do you put in the joint?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Should I go to my builder first?

If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Why act early in Kingswood

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kingswood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.

Show homes

Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. We’ll plan around viewing times.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What sealant work cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

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

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Kingswood needs a little journey planning: 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 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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Clear the area around the work
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
