New Build Mastic in Little Oakley
Our applicators work in Little Oakley on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Oakley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

About our new build mastic in Little Oakley
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 using the right product for each joint. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and cracks appearing as a new home settles.
Somewhere as small as Little Oakley, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home.

- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Landlord and commercial work in Little Oakley
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
