Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In Rochford, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- We’re fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant

New build mastic in Rochford
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you are dealing with shower seals failing in the first year or two and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help.
In a town like Rochford, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with new homes still going up on the edge of many towns. Whether a house is brand new or a few years old, sealant and floor joints are often the first snags to show.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Rochford, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.

Common problems we fix in Rochford
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
For new homes near Rochford station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
