How we handle new build mastic in Little Sandhurst

Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, whatever the surface.

In and around Little Sandhurst, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little Sandhurst and across Bracknell Forest.

When to call us in Little Sandhurst

When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Second-fix sealing on new plots
  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles

If you’ve bought a new home near Sandhurst station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How the job changes by surface

Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.

Can I do it myself?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Where do you work from?

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.

How long before the joint can be used?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep photos and emails about snagging items
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.

The process

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to Little Sandhurst is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  4. Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
