What the job involves on each surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
About our new build mastic in North Shoebury
Across North Shoebury, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. We are often asked to deal with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant work across a run of new homes, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes.
In and around North Shoebury, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Parking around North Shoebury is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about new build mastic in North Shoebury
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shoeburyness station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, 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 North Shoebury?
Yes, North Shoebury is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
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.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in North Shoebury?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover North Shoebury and the rest of Southend-on-Sea, along with the rest of our area.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens if it’s left?
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 North Shoebury, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
