New Build Mastic in South Merstham
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for householders, landlords and businesses in South Merstham. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in South Merstham
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you are dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around South Merstham range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in South Merstham
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to South Merstham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.

Why act early in South Merstham
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Homes in smaller places like South Merstham 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.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
