New build mastic for Park Wood homes and businesses

How the job changes by surface

Skirting and floors

As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.

Windows and doors

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.

About our new build mastic in Park Wood

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about skirting joints opening in the first winter and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.

In smaller places like Park Wood, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?

A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos. Around Park Wood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why book with us

  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • Every job guaranteed for a year
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish

  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath

Can I do it myself?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking around Park Wood is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely 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. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
