Need new build mastic in Newney Green?

DIY versus a professional finish

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Newney Green

We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that never bonded to the surface and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.

For a small place like Newney Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Signs you need new build mastic in Newney Green

Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two

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

Common questions in Newney Green

Is Newney Green within the area you cover?

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.

Do you cover Newney Green for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newney Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

Do you remove the old sealant?

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

Do you work for developers?

Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

Will it make a mess?

We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

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

No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.

What sealant do you use?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

When it isn’t the sealant

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What we seal

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

Different surfaces, different methods

Kitchens

Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.

Show homes

Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.

Leave it or put it right?

Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. In a small place like Newney Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Why us?

  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
  • We are fully insured
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Every job guaranteed for a year

What happens on the day

Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Newney Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Tell us about any water getting in
