Widdington New Build Mastic
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for Widdington, backed by a one-year guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Widdington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Arbo and Everbuild products

About our new build mastic in Widdington
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps between new skirting and floors.
For a small place like Widdington, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Yes, Widdington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

Should I go to my builder first?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Joints are prepared properly before sealing to keep callbacks down.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.

Joints and finishes in Widdington homes
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.
Around Widdington, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Newport (Essex) station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
