New build mastic in Southend, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, on kitchens, show homes and plot handovers.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, while new homes need a neat, sound finish around frames, baths and kitchens before handover.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Southend, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and prime where the product needs it.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- 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’re given the cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

As a London address, Southend can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you’ve bought a new home near Bellingham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
