How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. A visit to Tiptree 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
About our new build mastic in Tiptree
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you’re dealing with skirting joints opening in the first winter and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right.
In smaller places like Tiptree, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Tiptree and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the quote in Tiptree

- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.

Why act early in Tiptree
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Around Tiptree, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
