FAQs for Tunstall

Will you come out to Tunstall?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you cover Tunstall for new build mastic?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tunstall is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Tunstall

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 plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and second-fix sealing on new plots.

Somewhere as small as Tunstall, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When something else is needed

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Broken tiles or a split tray

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.

Show homes

We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.

How the visit works

At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Tunstall, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

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. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Tunstall, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Why choose Mr Mastic in Tunstall

  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • Full insurance on every job
  • Colour agreed with you before work begins
  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Should I try it myself first?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Signs you need new build mastic in Tunstall

When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.

People normally contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands

For new homes near Sittingbourne station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
