New build mastic in Send

About our new build mastic in Send

Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.

Homes around Send range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.

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.

What happens if it’s left?

A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Homes in smaller places like Send can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods

Windows and doors

On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.

Plot handovers

Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.

What new build mastic looks like in Send

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

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

How it works

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Send, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  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, with no layer left behind.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

What affects the quote in Send

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • How much there is to do

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

FAQs for Send

Do you work for landlords with property near Clandon station?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.

Will you come out to Send?

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.

Will you leave a mess?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How long will you be here?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Signs you need new build mastic in Send

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two
  • Sealant work across a run of new homes
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors

In and around Send, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • What insurance they hold
  • The length of the guarantee

How to choose a mastic man

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
  • Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one

Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.

Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
