Our new build mastic service in Essex

Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home.

  1. First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
  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. A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
  5. Each area is checked and left with its cure time.

Pricing in Essex

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Near you in Colchester

We work in homes and buildings around Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House. Other local landmarks include Colchester Sixth Form College (less than half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (under half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. Other landmarks nearby include Lion Walk (less than half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (within half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Westhouse Wood.

Where we work in Essex

Essex has everything from older homes with timber floors to brand-new houses. Floors move and new buildings settle, so skirting and floor joints open up in both.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Essex, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in. Along the coast in Essex, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Colchester: If you’ve bought a new home near Colchester Town station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Colchester, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Different surfaces, different methods

Plot handovers

Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing.

Kitchens

Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.

When something else is needed

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:

  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
  • Damaged fittings that need replacing

Leave it or put it right?

The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step.

Comparing quotes

  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • How the colour is chosen
  • What insurance they hold
  • How long to leave it before use

Can I do it myself?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Essex

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

FAQs for Essex

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you work from my snagging list?

Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

Is it messy?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

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

There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
