New build mastic in Worth

New build mastic in Worth, done properly

Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes.

For a small place like Worth, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Worth as everywhere else we work.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.

Bathrooms and en suites

Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.

How to look after the new joints

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Record problems with dated pictures
  • Act quickly if a seal starts to leak

Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.

Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.

Quotes for new build mastic in Worth

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much there is to do
  • 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

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we need to know

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Where the property is
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Worth

Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.

People generally contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
  • Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
  • Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • The length of the guarantee
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first

10 questions to ask before you book

Worth: your questions answered

I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?

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

Is Worth in your area for new build mastic?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Worth is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

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

Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.

Joints and finishes in Worth homes

Worth 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

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

Why deal with it now?

If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Worth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Worth, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
