How we handle new build mastic in Pinewood Village

If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. 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. If you are dealing with cracks appearing as a new home settles and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

For a new home in or near Pinewood Village, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.

Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.

Your questions about new build mastic in Pinewood Village

Is Pinewood Village within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is Pinewood Village in your area for new build mastic?

Yes, Pinewood Village is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.

Can I send you my snagging list?

Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

How long does the job take?

That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will tell you when we quote.

When it is not the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

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

Surfaces we seal

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

Surface by surface

Show homes

We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.

Bathrooms and en suites

New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Pinewood Village, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice

What happens if it’s left?

A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you are unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with pictures and we will tell you. In a smaller place like Pinewood Village, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
