How we handle new build mastic in Ranmore Common

Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps between new skirting and floors, across skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.

For a small place like Ranmore Common, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods

Windows and doors

A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.

Plot handovers

Developers can send the plot schedule and specification and we will quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.

DIY versus a professional finish

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

For anyone letting property in or around Ranmore Common, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

What we can’t put right

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
  • Broken tiles or a split tray

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need new build mastic in Ranmore Common

On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.

The problems people usually mention when they call are:

  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Second-fix sealing on new plots

If you’ve bought a new home near Dorking West station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

The process

Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Ranmore Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Move anything stored near the joints
