New build mastic in Water Stratford
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you have sealant work across a run of new homes and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Water Stratford, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a village or hamlet like Water Stratford, 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.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common questions in Water Stratford
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Water Stratford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Water Stratford within the area you cover?
Yes. Water Stratford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
Joints and finishes in Water Stratford homes
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.
Whether the job is in Water Stratford itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

When to call us in Water Stratford
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Around Water Stratford, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
