What new build mastic looks like in West Tilbury
West Tilbury is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around West Tilbury, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in West Tilbury
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
If you’ve bought a new home near East Tilbury station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Why deal with it now?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Tilbury can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as West Tilbury, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
