Need new build mastic in Purleigh?

Why deal with it now?

Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Purleigh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Purleigh

Dust is the enemy of 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. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.

Work in a small place like Purleigh just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Your questions about new build mastic in Purleigh

Is Purleigh in your area for new build mastic?

Yes, Purleigh is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Do you cover smaller places like Purleigh?

Yes. Purleigh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How long does the job take?

A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Do you work through snagging lists?

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

Which products do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

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

No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before we start.

Is it worth trying it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

What colour sealant will you use?

The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water

Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.

A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.

  • Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
  • Internal frame sealant that has split
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles

Landlord and commercial work in Purleigh

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

The process

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Purleigh, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  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. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
