About our new build mastic in Dedham Heath
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Somewhere as small as Dedham Heath, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dedham Heath as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Dedham Heath
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
In and around Dedham Heath, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Dedham Heath
Can you do new build mastic in Dedham Heath?
Yes, Dedham Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Dedham Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Dedham Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can, and we will quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Dedham Heath can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

How we quote for new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach

- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Joints and finishes in Dedham Heath homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Manningtree station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors to the agreed spec.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dedham Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- 20+ years of sealant experience
