How we handle new build mastic in Steward's Green

A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and new-build shower sealant that has already split.

For a small place like Steward's Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Steward's Green and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Steward's Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
  4. New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
  5. We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Landlord and commercial work in Steward's Green

Landlords and letting agents in Steward's Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits

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

  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Steward's Green

Is Steward's Green within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Steward's Green?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

What does new build mastic cost?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Which products do you use?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Does someone need to be in?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Should I go to my builder first?

If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.

Will it make a mess?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

Why deal with it now?

Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures. Older cottages and farmhouses around Steward's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Steward's Green

If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Messy sealant that spoils new finishes

Whether the job is in Steward's Green itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What your quote should include

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • What preparation is included
