New build mastic in Little Braxted
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 have sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Little Braxted often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Little Braxted, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. In a small place like Little Braxted, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Common questions in Little Braxted
I let a flat near Witham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Little Braxted for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Little Braxted is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Little Braxted?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing so the sealant lasts.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Do you need new build mastic in Little Braxted?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Witham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
