New Build Mastic in Great Notley
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Great Notley and across Essex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
New build mastic in Great Notley
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Great Notley. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can put it right, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Great Notley, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Landlord and commercial work in Great Notley
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Parking around Great Notley is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.

Advice
Signs you need new build mastic in Great Notley
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
If you’ve bought a new home near Braintree station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

FAQs for Great Notley
I let a flat near Braintree station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Great Notley?
Yes. Great Notley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In a smaller place like Great Notley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
