New build mastic in Brentwood, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and windows & doors.
In a town like Brentwood, older houses sit alongside newer estates. Whether a house is brand new or a few years old, sealant and floor joints are often the first snags to show.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.
Why act early in Brentwood
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Around Brentwood, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

When to call us in Brentwood
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Brentwood station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Surface by surface
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours in a single home. In Brentwood, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
