New homes and floors in Wix Green
Wix Green is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Around Wix Green, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic in Wix Green, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and people most often call us about sealant work across a run of new homes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Older homes in small places like Wix Green often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in Wix Green
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Wrabness station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

FAQs for Wix Green
Will you come out to Wix Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Wix Green for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wix Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
