Hutton questions
Can you do new build mastic in Hutton?

Do you work for landlords with property near Shenfield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are generally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
New build mastic in Hutton, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant generally lacks. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can put it right.
Homes around Hutton range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Also in Hutton
Work for landlords, hotels 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.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hutton and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Common problems we fix in Hutton
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Shenfield station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours in a single home. A visit to Hutton 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
