New build mastic near Tudeley Hale

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
  • Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop

Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.

The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

About our new build mastic in Tudeley Hale

We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant around new window and door frames and cracked caulk along new skirting.

In a village or hamlet like Tudeley Hale, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tudeley Hale

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

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.

Bathrooms and en suites

Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

What happens on the day

Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Tudeley Hale needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice

Tudeley Hale questions

Will you come out to Tudeley Hale?

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.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tonbridge station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Is there any odour?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?

Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.

Do you use white or clear sealant?

Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Where are you based?

Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

When to call us in Tudeley Hale

The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Gaps between new skirting and floors
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover

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

What your quote should include

  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How long to leave it before use

How to choose a mastic man

What affects the quote in Tudeley Hale

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The product the joint needs
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number and length of the joints

A few things move the cost up or down: 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.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the property is
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

If you’re in Tudeley Hale and need new build mastic, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?

Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tudeley Hale, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
