Need new build mastic in Lambourne End?

Why deal with it now?

DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Lambourne End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Why book with us

  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
  • 12-month guarantee on every job
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator

About our new build mastic in Lambourne End

Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites alike.

Somewhere as small as Lambourne End, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

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

What we are called out for in Lambourne End

Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

Around Lambourne End, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • How hidden problems are handled
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Advice

When it is not the sealant

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:

  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

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

What we seal

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

How to look after the new joints

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

  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Follow the cure time we give you

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

Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.

How the job changes by surface

Skirting and floors

Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.

Windows and doors

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I wait before resealing?

For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.

Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
