New build mastic in Frating Green, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about second-fix sealing on new plots and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Around Frating Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Do you need new build mastic in Frating Green?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Great Bentley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why deal with it now?
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. Around Frating Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
