Joints and finishes in Easthorpe homes

For new homes near Marks Tey station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Easthorpe, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

About our new build mastic in Easthorpe
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between new skirting and floors and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Work in a small place like Easthorpe just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What affects the quote in Easthorpe
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a small place like Easthorpe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Easthorpe, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated pictures
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
