Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Woodham Ferrers? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
New build mastic in Woodham Ferrers
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Somewhere as small as Woodham Ferrers, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Woodham Ferrers
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but a leaking seal cannot. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodham Ferrers, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Follow the cure time we give you
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Signs you need new build mastic in Woodham Ferrers
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
For new homes near South Woodham Ferrers station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
