How we handle new build mastic in Little Burstead
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right.
For a small place like Little Burstead, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.
Why act early in Little Burstead
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Burstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.

Signs you need new build mastic in Little Burstead
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart and the sealant has to cope with the movement.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Billericay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you work for developers?
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.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
