About our new build mastic in Quendon
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
Somewhere as small as Quendon, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Quendon and across Essex.

Questions from Quendon
Do you cover smaller places like Quendon?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Quendon?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The amount of work
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: 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.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before

Advice
Common problems we fix in Quendon
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
In and around Quendon, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
Why it’s worth doing now in Quendon
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Quendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
