About our new build mastic in Great Bardfield
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about gaps behind new kitchen upstands and second-fix sealing on new plots.
Somewhere as small as Great Bardfield, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Great Bardfield and across Essex.

Why act early in Great Bardfield
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Bardfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
