New build mastic in Horsley Cross, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. If you’re dealing with untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can help, on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
In a village or hamlet like Horsley Cross, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Horsley Cross
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
In and around Horsley Cross, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Horsley Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.

What new build mastic looks like in Horsley Cross
Horsley Cross is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Mistley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
