Little Dunmow New Build Mastic

How we handle new build mastic in Little Dunmow
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Little Dunmow, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Little Dunmow and across Essex.

How much does new build mastic cost in Little Dunmow?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it is not sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Joints and finishes in Little Dunmow homes
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.
Whether the job is in Little Dunmow itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Little Dunmow, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In an older home around Little Dunmow, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
