About our new build mastic in Leigh-on-Sea
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes.
For a new home in or near Leigh-on-Sea, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Leigh-on-Sea is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Homes in smaller places like Leigh-on-Sea can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
New homes and floors in Leigh-on-Sea
Leigh-on-Sea is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you’ve bought a new home near Leigh-on-Sea station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Questions from Leigh-on-Sea
Do you cover smaller places like Leigh-on-Sea?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Leigh-on-Sea?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Leigh-on-Sea is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
