About our new build mastic in Branbridges
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors.
Older homes in small places like Branbridges often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Branbridges, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Branbridges
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive

Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
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.

What affects the quote in Branbridges
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
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 failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
