New build mastic in Epping Green
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on kitchens, show homes and skirting & floors.
Somewhere as small as Epping Green, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
Quotes for new build mastic in Epping Green
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Epping Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.

Your questions about new build mastic in Epping Green
Is Epping Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Epping Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Roydon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Epping Green?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items and we’ll give you a quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we’ll tell you. In a small place like Epping Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Signs you need new build mastic in Epping Green
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
If you’ve bought a new home near Roydon station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
