About our new build mastic in Wissington
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you are dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and cracked caulk along new skirting, we can put it right, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers alike.
For a small place like Wissington, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Wissington
Is Wissington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bures station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
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 are using and why.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
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. Somewhere as small as Wissington, 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.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Wissington
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Wissington, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Wissington can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wissington
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. In a small place like Wissington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
