Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

How we handle new build mastic in Wakes Colne
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. If you are dealing with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can put it right.
For a small place like Wakes Colne, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
Common problems we fix in Wakes Colne
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
If you’ve bought a new home near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Leave it or put it right?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Wakes Colne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
