How we handle new build mastic in Loves Green
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include frame joints opening as the plaster dries and sealant work across a run of new homes, across show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Loves Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Loves Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
What new build mastic looks like in Loves Green
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Ingatestone station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Loves Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Loves Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Ingatestone station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. 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 Loves Green?
Yes, Loves Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
How much does new build mastic cost in Loves Green?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We will agree it with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits don’t 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Loves Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
