New build mastic near Littleton

Do you need new build mastic in Littleton?

Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Sealant work across a run of new homes
  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is chosen
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it

How to choose a mastic man

New build mastic in Littleton, done properly

A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Typical jobs include new-build shower sealant that has already split and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.

Work in a small place like Littleton just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How it works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Littleton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Advice

Littleton questions

Do you cover Littleton for new build mastic?

Yes, Littleton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

Will you come out to Littleton?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How long will you be here?

Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will confirm how long when we quote.

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. The old sealant always comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.

Do you work through snagging lists?

Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.

How to look after the new joints

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
  • Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
  • Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself

Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.

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

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.

Kitchens

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there.

Landlord and commercial work in Littleton

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Littleton and across Surrey. Several sites can go on one quote.

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The amount of work

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.

Asking for a quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • The rough size of the job
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
