About our new build mastic in Ardleigh Green
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, whatever the surface.
From brand-new flats to converted terraces with new flooring, London has every kind of floor. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement, in Ardleigh Green as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why deal with it now?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few pictures. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Tidy, careful work

Your questions about new build mastic in Ardleigh Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gidea Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Ardleigh Green?

Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.

Related advice
New build mastic in Ardleigh Green: local notes
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. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For new homes near Gidea Park station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Ardleigh Green is about 2 miles east of Romford, in Greater London. Jobs in Ardleigh Green get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Ardleigh Green is one of them. For nearby work, see our London page, about 15 miles away.
Postcode districts we cover here for new build mastic: RM2, RM11 and RM3. We cover properties on Ewan Road, Helen Road and Haynes Road and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out new build mastic in Gallows Corner (1 mile north), Emerson Park (1 mile south-east), Harold Wood (1 mile north-east), Heath Park (1 mile south-west) and Gidea Park (1 mile north-west).

Landmarks near Ardleigh Green
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Ship Public House, The Royal Liberty School and Haynes Park. The nearest railway station is Gidea Park station, roughly 0.5 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Upminster Tithe Barn Museum of Nostalgia (2.1 miles south-east) and Harold Wood Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Hornchurch Cutting.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Ardleigh Green
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Ardleigh Green is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
