About our new build mastic in Netteswell
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. Typical jobs include untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Homes around Netteswell range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and commercial work in Netteswell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
For anyone letting property in or around Netteswell, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
How we quote for new build mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Netteswell is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Ask for a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

What we’re called out for in Netteswell
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Harlow Town station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
