New build mastic in Gallows Green, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Typical jobs include gaps behind new kitchen upstands and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on plot handovers, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Gallows Green, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.

When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job

Why act early in Gallows Green
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gallows Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Fully insured
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- You choose the colour before work begins
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Gallows Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Other services in Gallows Green
Do you need new build mastic in Gallows Green?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Marks Tey station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Do you do commercial work?

Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with photos and we’ll quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we can reseal it properly.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
