What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Wimbish Green
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have sealant that never bonded to the surface and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Wimbish Green just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need new build mastic in Wimbish Green
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Wimbish Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

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 for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Wimbish Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wimbish Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Wimbish Green questions
Is Wimbish Green in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Wimbish Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
