New build mastic for homes and businesses in Sible Hedingham
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We are often asked to deal with cracks appearing as a new home settles and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Sible Hedingham, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to Sible Hedingham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Homes in smaller places like Sible Hedingham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
