What we are called out for in Lunsford

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home

For new homes near New Hythe station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • What the cure time is

About our new build mastic in Lunsford

New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on windows & doors, skirting & floors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.

In and around Lunsford, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Leave it or put it right?

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. In an older home around Lunsford, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Why book with us

  • A choice of colours where the product allows
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
  • We’re fully insured
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work

How we quote for new build mastic

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The product the joint needs
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The size of the job

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Helping us quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The problem you’ve noticed

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

Surface by surface

Show homes

Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.

Bathrooms and en suites

Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. A visit to Lunsford is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
