In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
About our new build mastic in Balls Green
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and people most often call us about shower seals failing in the first year or two and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Somewhere as small as Balls Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Balls Green and across Essex.

- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required

When to call us in Balls Green
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Great Bentley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
