New build mastic near Peasmarsh

How we handle new build mastic in Peasmarsh

A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on kitchens, windows & doors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are cracks appearing as a new home settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.

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

Our work is backed for twelve months.

FAQs for Peasmarsh

Do you cover Peasmarsh for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Peasmarsh is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you work for landlords with property near Rye station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.

Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?

Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.

Which products do you use?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Do you need new build mastic in Peasmarsh?

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Internal frame sealant that has split
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away

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

How to choose a mastic man

DIY versus a professional finish

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Peasmarsh

A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In a small place like Peasmarsh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Why us?

  • Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
  • Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
  • Arbo and Everbuild products
  • Every job guaranteed for a year

Joints and finishes in Peasmarsh homes

What happens on the day

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Peasmarsh, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

When it isn’t the sealant

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

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