New build mastic for South Norwood homes and businesses

When to call us in South Norwood

A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • How long to leave it before use

Choosing a sealant specialist

New build mastic in South Norwood, done properly

In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can put it right.

New flats are going up across London, many of them in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Quotes for new build mastic in South Norwood

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The product the joint needs
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface

Show homes

Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.

Skirting and floors

As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

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

New homes and floors in South Norwood

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

How it works

When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. In South Norwood, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  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 down to clean surfaces.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice

Leave it or put it right?

A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a flat in South Norwood, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
