DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
New build mastic in Bradfield, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. Typical jobs include plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Bradfield, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Bradfield
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bradfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Do you need new build mastic in Bradfield?
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
In and around Bradfield, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

I let a flat near Mistley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Bradfield in your area for new build mastic?

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We seal plots to the developer’s programme, room by room. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.

- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.

Joints and finishes in Bradfield homes
Bradfield is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Mistley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
