New build mastic in Wrotham Heath

Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you are dealing with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, whatever the surface.

In a village or hamlet like Wrotham Heath, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you need new build mastic in Wrotham Heath?

Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.

Look out for any of the following:

  • New-build shower sealant that has already split
  • Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
  • Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
  • Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces

Around Wrotham Heath, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Our hiring checklist

Leave it or put it right?

A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Wrotham Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

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

What you get with us

  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
  • Every job guaranteed for a year
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
  • 180+ five-star Google reviews

Questions from Wrotham Heath

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Is Wrotham Heath within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

What sealant do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

Where are you based?

Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.

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

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote.

Will there be a smell?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Wrotham Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
  2. The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
  4. We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
  5. Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.

How to prepare

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Clear the area around the work

What the job involves on each surface

Kitchens

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.

Skirting and floors

Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.

How we quote for new build mastic

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The type of sealant required
  • Access and height
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The number and length of the joints

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • A few pictures by email, if you can

Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

How to look after the new joints

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
  • Open a window or run the fan after bathing
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
  • Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured

Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.

Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
