How we handle new build mastic in Kelvedon Hatch
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant usually lacks. If you are dealing with gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Kelvedon Hatch just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. Somewhere like Kelvedon Hatch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Kelvedon Hatch
Can you do new build mastic in Kelvedon Hatch?
Yes, Kelvedon Hatch is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Kelvedon Hatch?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Around Kelvedon Hatch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Kelvedon Hatch customers choose us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

New build mastic in Kelvedon Hatch: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Common problems we fix in Kelvedon Hatch
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
In and around Kelvedon Hatch, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When it is not the sealant
