How the job changes by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.
About our new build mastic in Rickling Green
Across Rickling Green, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Common call-outs are for sealant that never bonded to the surface and skirting joints opening in the first winter, across bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes.
Older homes in small places like Rickling Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Rickling Green questions
Is Rickling Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Rickling Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
New homes and floors in Rickling Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Rickling Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Newport (Essex) station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Rickling Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Rickling Green
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rickling Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
