Berechurch: your questions answered
Is Berechurch within the area you cover?
Yes. Berechurch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Colchester Town station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
How we handle new build mastic in Berechurch
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Berechurch, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Record problems with dated photos
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Quotes for new build mastic in Berechurch
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
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What new build mastic looks like in Berechurch
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Why act early in Berechurch
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. In a smaller place like Berechurch, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
