About our new build mastic in Great Easton
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover with a sealant suited to each area. We work on show homes, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about skirting joints opening in the first winter and second-fix sealing on new plots.
Older homes in small places like Great Easton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
New build mastic in Great Easton: local notes

Common problems we fix in Great Easton
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Look out for these signs:
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
If you’ve bought a new home near Stansted Airport station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Great Easton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods

Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
