New build mastic in Ramsey
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. If you are dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens alike.
Work in a small place like Ramsey just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ramsey as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Ramsey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When to call us in Ramsey
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Look out for these signs:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Ramsey, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant that suits the frame.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can you do new build mastic in Ramsey?
Yes, Ramsey is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
New homes and floors in Ramsey
Ramsey is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you’ve bought a new home near Wrabness station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ramsey
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. Around Ramsey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
