Our new build mastic service in Thurrock
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens, and people most often call us about cracks appearing as a new home settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
What you will pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

New build mastic across Thurrock: local notes
Thurrock 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.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Thurrock is planned around the weather. Thurrock includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Stanford-le-Hope: For new homes near Stanford-Le-Hope station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Stanford-le-Hope, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated photos
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. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Signs you need new build mastic
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Why act early?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Thurrock: your questions answered
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
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 and agree it with you.
