New build mastic in Wickford
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Wickford. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors alike.
Homes around Wickford move a little with the seasons, and skirting and floor joints show it first. Those joints need a flexible sealant, as rigid filler soon cracks out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is generally left for about a day before water reaches them.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Wickford: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Wickford?
All our work, in Wickford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Wickford for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wickford is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. Parking in a town like Wickford is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote

Why act early in Wickford
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In a family home in Wickford, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
