New build mastic in Tattenhoe, done properly

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens alike.

In smaller places like Tattenhoe, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

FAQs for Tattenhoe

Do you cover Tattenhoe for new build mastic?

Yes, Tattenhoe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Tattenhoe?

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

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?

There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before we start.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.

Where do you work from?

We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Signs you need new build mastic in Tattenhoe

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.

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

  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Skirting joints opening in the first winter
  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Shower seals failing in the first year or two

Around Tattenhoe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Honest limits

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Cracking that points to a structural problem
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What we seal

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. A visit to Tattenhoe is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
  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

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Move anything stored near the joints

How we quote for new build mastic

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The type of sealant required

What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Why deal with it now?

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. Around Tattenhoe, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
