How we handle new build mastic in Payden Street
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about frame joints opening as the plaster dries and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Work in a small place like Payden Street just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Payden Street
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
In and around Payden Street, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Payden Street
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Older cottages and farmhouses around Payden Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Payden Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
