Debden questions
Will you come out to Debden?
Yes, Debden is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Debden?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Debden
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. We are often asked to deal with sealant that never bonded to the surface and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on windows & doors, plot handovers and kitchens.
For a small place like Debden, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Debden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed

Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Debden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
