About our new build mastic in Lamb Corner
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Lamb Corner, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What else we do in Lamb Corner
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated pictures
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about new build mastic in Lamb Corner
Is Lamb Corner in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Lamb Corner is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Manningtree station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lamb Corner can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
