About our new build mastic in Hare Green
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Somewhere as small as Hare Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Hare Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common questions in Hare Green
Will you come out to Hare Green?
Yes, Hare Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Great Bentley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We’ll agree it with you first.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Hare Green
What new build mastic looks like in Hare Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Great Bentley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Common problems we fix in Hare Green
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Hare Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hare Green and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos. In a small place like Hare Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
