How we handle new build mastic in Faulkbourne
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 since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have internal frame sealant that has split and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Faulkbourne, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When to call us in Faulkbourne
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near White Notley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Faulkbourne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Faulkbourne
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Faulkbourne can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Faulkbourne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
