What the job involves on each surface

About our new build mastic in Leckhampstead
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Leckhampstead, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
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.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Leckhampstead, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
In and around Leckhampstead, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times for the lot. Around Leckhampstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.

Leckhampstead questions
Is Leckhampstead in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Leckhampstead is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Leckhampstead?
All our work, in Leckhampstead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
