How we handle new build mastic in Bradwell Wick
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Somewhere as small as Bradwell Wick, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Joints and finishes in Bradwell Wick homes
Bradwell Wick is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Bradwell Wick questions
Will you come out to Bradwell Wick?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Southminster station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bradwell Wick
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Landlords and agents in Bradwell Wick can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a small place like Bradwell Wick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Do you need new build mastic in Bradwell Wick?
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Southminster station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
