About our new build mastic in Rowhedge
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
In and around Rowhedge, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. In a smaller place like Rowhedge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant

What else we do in Rowhedge
New homes and floors in Rowhedge
Rowhedge is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Rowhedge, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Wivenhoe station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
