New build mastic for homes and businesses in Southend-on-Sea
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you’re dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant that never bonded to the surface, we can help.
Southend-on-Sea has plenty of estates from recent decades, where the builder’s original sealant around baths, frames and skirtings may be due for replacing. Snagging and second-fix sealing are part of what we do for developers and new-home owners alike.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Southend-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging.

What happens if it’s left?

For landlords in Southend-on-Sea, failed sealant soon turns into tenant complaints about mould, damp or draughts. It’s simpler to sort between tenants than in the middle of a let.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In central Southend-on-Sea, parking can be tight, so tell us about driveways, permits or nearby car parks. For flats, mention stairs, lifts and shared entrances as well.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlord and commercial work in Southend-on-Sea
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
