New build mastic in Loyter's Green, done properly

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. If you have joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can help, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens alike.

Around Loyter's Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Loyter's Green and across Essex.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Plumbing faults behind the sealant
  • Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
  • Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Bathrooms & en suites
  • Kitchens
  • Plot handovers
  • Show homes
  • Windows & doors
  • Skirting & floors

Common problems we fix in Loyter's Green

A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
  • Internal frame sealant that has split
  • Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
  • Sealant that never bonded to the surface

If you’ve bought a new home near Harlow Mill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is chosen
  • What the cure time is
  • Are they insured?
  • Whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What affects the cost of new build mastic

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Whether the work is at height
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The size of the job

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Helping us quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • How we’d reach the joints

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Loyter's Green

Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Loyter's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Why choose Mr Mastic in Loyter's Green

  • A choice of colours where the product allows
  • We are fully insured
  • Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
  • Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Loyter's Green questions

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harlow Mill station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Is Loyter's Green within the area you cover?

Yes. Loyter's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?

No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.

What do you put in the joint?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.

How much does new build mastic cost in Loyter's Green?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

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.

What the job involves on each surface

Bathrooms and en suites

Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Kitchens

Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens, food-safe where it’s needed.

The process

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Loyter's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. The failed sealant is removed completely.
  3. We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
  4. We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
