New build mastic in Loughton
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Loughton, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Loughton, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Loughton
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.

Questions from Loughton
Can you do new build mastic in Loughton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Loughton is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Loughton?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. In a smaller place like Loughton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. Sealant work across the plot is covered.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Record problems with dated photos
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
New build mastic around Loughton
Loughton is part of Milton Keynes, one of the post-war new towns. Newer neighbourhoods have been added to Milton Keynes over the years. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In and around Loughton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Milton Keynes Central station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Loughton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
