New build mastic in Mid Holmwood, done properly

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you’re dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens alike.

Work in a small place like Mid Holmwood just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Mid Holmwood and across Surrey.

When to call us in Mid Holmwood

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • When the joint can take water or movement

How to choose a mastic man

Why deal with it now?

For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Around Mid Holmwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why us?

  • Tidy, careful work
  • Fully insured
  • Homes, businesses and hotels
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Landlord and commercial work in Mid Holmwood

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

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.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

How the job changes by surface

Bathrooms and en suites

En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.

Skirting and floors

Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.

When something else is needed

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • Broken tiles or a split tray
  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we seal

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

What happens on the day

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Mid Holmwood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Your questions about new build mastic in Mid Holmwood

Will you come out to Mid Holmwood?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Holmwood station?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Do you have insurance?

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

Should I go to my builder first?

Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
