Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

New homes and floors in Little Bromley
Little Bromley is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. 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.
Around Little Bromley, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Record problems with dated photos
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Little Bromley questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Manningtree station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Little Bromley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Bromley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why deal with it now?
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 Little Bromley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
