New build mastic in Tendring Heath, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that never bonded to the surface and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
For a small place like Tendring Heath, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Tendring Heath and across Essex.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Tendring Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit

Nearby places to Tendring Heath
What else we do in Tendring Heath
When to call us in Tendring Heath
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Weeley station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Questions from Tendring Heath
Will you come out to Tendring Heath?
Yes. Tendring Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Tendring Heath?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
