Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first.
New build mastic in Great Totham
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. Common call-outs are for skirting joints opening in the first winter and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes.
For a new home in or near Great Totham, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Totham and across Essex.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

When to call us in Great Totham
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Great Totham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What preparation is included
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. For a job in Great Totham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
