What the job involves on each surface

Plot handovers

Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.

Windows and doors

The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.

New build mastic in Putney, done properly

New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Typical jobs include joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.

Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why it’s worth doing now in Putney

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 to plan around. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Putney, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Why book with us

  • White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower

Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

When it isn’t the sealant

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • Cracking that points to a structural problem
  • Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
  • A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What new build mastic looks like in Putney

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

As a London address, Putney can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you’ve bought a new home near Putney station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What happens on the day

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a London area like Putney, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Before we arrive

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Quotes for new build mastic in Putney

For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How much there is to do
  • How many areas need sealing

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

Putney: your questions answered

Do you cover Putney for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Putney is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Putney?

In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.

Do you work for developers?

Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

Will you leave a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.

What do you put in the joint?

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

Can I do it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
