New build mastic for homes and businesses in Oakgrove

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. 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. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and internal frame sealant that has split.

If you’ve bought a new home in or near Oakgrove, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How it works

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking around Oakgrove is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

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

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

How to look after the new joints

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

  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered

Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Oakgrove, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

When to call us in Oakgrove

New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:

  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Frame joints opening as the plaster dries

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

Comparing quotes

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Choosing a sealant specialist

Surface by surface

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.

Plot handovers

Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we will quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.

What affects the quote in Oakgrove

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

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • How much there is to do
  • Access and height

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Oakgrove questions

Do you cover smaller places like Oakgrove?

Yes, Oakgrove is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is Oakgrove in your area for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oakgrove is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.

Do the sealants smell?

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

When is the sealant fully cured?

That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
