Flacks Green New Build Mastic
New build mastic across Flacks Green and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Flacks Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

New build mastic in Flacks Green
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and the jobs we see most are skirting joints opening in the first winter and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Somewhere as small as Flacks Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Flacks Green
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
For new homes near Hatfield Peverel station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
