About our new build mastic in Ramsden Bellhouse

Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right.

Around Ramsden Bellhouse, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Ramsden Bellhouse

Is Ramsden Bellhouse in your area for new build mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ramsden Bellhouse is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Ramsden Bellhouse?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can tenants book the work?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

What should I tell you?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?

No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing

Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. 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.

Leave it or put it right?

A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Ramsden Bellhouse, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What you get with us

  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • Fully insured
  • More than 20 years in sealant work

When it is not the sealant

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Broken tiles or a split tray

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we seal

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

When to call us in Ramsden Bellhouse

Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Sealant work across a run of new homes
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away

For new homes near Wickford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • The length of the guarantee

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

What happens on the day

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. Somewhere as small as Ramsden Bellhouse, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any tricky access
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
