New build mastic for homes and businesses in Upton
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Somewhere as small as Upton, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upton as everywhere else we work.

Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
New build mastic around Upton
Upton is within about 3 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Redbridge station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Around Upton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Skirting & floors
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Show homes
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
Why act early in Upton
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
