About our new build mastic in Lexden
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Homes around Lexden 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Lexden is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
New homes and floors in Lexden
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Lexden, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Lexden questions

Is Lexden in your area for new build mastic?

Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How much does new build mastic cost in Lexden?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Lexden and across Essex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Lexden
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Colchester station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
