New build mastic in Birchgrove, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you’re dealing with sealant that never bonded to the surface and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Birchgrove often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Signs you need new build mastic in Birchgrove
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Birchgrove, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Birchgrove questions
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Birchgrove?
All our work, in Birchgrove and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Birchgrove?
Yes, Birchgrove is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
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.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Birchgrove, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
