About our new build mastic in Upminster

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you have second-fix sealing on new plots and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers alike.

From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement, in Upminster as anywhere.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

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. Everything old must be removed first.

Leave it or put it right?

Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What we’re called out for in Upminster

Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.

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

  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover

Upminster is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Before booking anyone

  • How hidden problems are handled
  • The length of the guarantee
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • What product goes in the joint

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Damaged fittings that need replacing
  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty

FAQs for Upminster

Do you work for landlords with property near Upminster station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Is parking an issue for new build mastic in Upminster?

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?

New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.

Do you work in Upminster?

Yes. We work in Upminster, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.

What should I tell you?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

New homes and floors in Upminster

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. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.

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

What we do, step by step

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

How to prepare

  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • How many areas need sealing
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
