Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
New build mastic in Felsted
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. We work on show homes, kitchens and windows & doors, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Around Felsted, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Older cottages and farmhouses around Felsted can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Quotes for new build mastic in Felsted
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New build mastic around Felsted
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Felsted, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Felsted, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
