New build mastic for homes and businesses in Great Bentley
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. Typical jobs include new-build shower sealant that has already split and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors.
In smaller places like Great Bentley, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. For a job in Great Bentley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Great Bentley
Is Great Bentley in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Bentley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Great Bentley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Bentley
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Homes in smaller places like Great Bentley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
