How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
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, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
How we handle new build mastic in Tolleshunt Knights
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Typical jobs include sealant that never bonded to the surface and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across kitchens, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Tolleshunt Knights, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tolleshunt Knights can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
New homes and floors in Tolleshunt Knights
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Tolleshunt Knights, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Kelvedon station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we will give you a quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
