New build mastic in Winklebury

Surface by surface

Skirting and floors

Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

Plot handovers

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.

About our new build mastic in Winklebury

For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracks appearing as a new home settles.

Homes around Winklebury range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why act early in Winklebury

Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Winklebury, 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.

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Why us?

  • Arbo and Everbuild products
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • More than 20 years in sealant work
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How it works

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. In a smaller place like Winklebury, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
  3. We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
  4. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice

Can I do it myself?

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

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Do you use white or clear sealant?

We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.

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

Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.

What information do you need?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • Cracking that points to a structural problem

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Follow the cure time we give you
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
  • Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out

Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is usually left for about a day.

A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
