How we handle new build mastic in Ingatestone
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Ingatestone, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Ingatestone questions
Do you cover Ingatestone for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ingatestone is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ingatestone station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How much does new build mastic cost in Ingatestone?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Follow the cure time we give you
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
When to call us in Ingatestone
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly and it shows once the home is in use.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Ingatestone, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Why act early in Ingatestone
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Ingatestone, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
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.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Ingatestone, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
