Our applicators work in Boreham Street on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Boreham Street
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, across skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors.
For a small place like Boreham Street, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Boreham Street and across East Sussex.

Questions from Boreham Street
Will you come out to Boreham Street?
Yes. Boreham Street 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 Normans Bay station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Boreham Street can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Joints and finishes in Boreham Street homes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Normans Bay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Boreham Street
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
In and around Boreham Street, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Boreham Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, 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.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
