New build mastic in Great Wakering
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help.
In smaller places like Great Wakering, 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, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Wakering and across Southend-on-Sea.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. A visit to Great Wakering is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What else we do in Great Wakering
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Great Wakering questions
Do you cover smaller places like Great Wakering?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Great Wakering in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Wakering is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Great Wakering
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites

Why deal with it now?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a smaller place like Great Wakering, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
