New build mastic in Upton, done properly

Across Upton, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.

Somewhere as small as Upton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

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

When it is not the sealant

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
  • Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
  • Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with

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

Where we work in Upton

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

When to call us in Upton

Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Cracks appearing as a new home settles
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • New-build shower sealant that has already split
  • Cracked caulk along new skirting

If you’ve bought a new home near Smallbrook Junction station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Is VAT in the price?

New build mastic around Upton

Upton is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

In and around Upton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

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.

Your questions about new build mastic in Upton

Do you cover smaller places like Upton?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Smallbrook Junction station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Do you use white or clear sealant?

It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before any work starts.

Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?

No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.

Is it messy?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Letting agents and landlords in Upton can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
  • Use the extractor fan every time you shower
  • Record problems with dated pictures

Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.

If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

How the visit works

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Upton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
  3. We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
