Do you need new build mastic in Tendring Green?
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
For new homes near Weeley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
About our new build mastic in Tendring Green
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Older homes in small places like Tendring Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Tendring Green questions
Will you come out to Tendring Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Weeley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Tendring Green and the rest of Essex.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before any work starts.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, which opens gaps along the back. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tendring Green
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tendring Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
