About our new build mastic in Rudley Green
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along new skirting and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, across bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers.
Around Rudley 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 comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
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 make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Rudley Green is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early.

If you’ve bought a new home near North Fambridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Rudley Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rudley Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
