About our new build mastic in Radley Green
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. Common call-outs are for joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, across skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers.
Around Radley 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Radley Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Radley Green
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
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.

Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Around Radley Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about new build mastic in Radley Green
Will you come out to Radley Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Radley Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Radley Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Radley Green, along with the rest of our area.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
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.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left over time.
Quotes for new build mastic in Radley Green
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
