New build mastic for homes and businesses in Earls Colne
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. Common call-outs are for plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Earls Colne, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Earls Colne questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
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’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Earls Colne?
Yes, Earls Colne is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a job in Earls Colne, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Why deal with it now?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Earls Colne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification and we’ll quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Common problems we fix in Earls Colne
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Earls Colne, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
