For a small place like Wrabness, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

Common problems we fix in Wrabness
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Wrabness, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic around Wrabness
Wrabness is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Wrabness station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items and we will give you a quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.

Advice
Also in Wrabness
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Wrabness
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 that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
