About our new build mastic in Bures Green
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. If you have plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help.
For a small place like Bures Green, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.

What else we do in Bures Green
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

When to call us in Bures Green
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.

- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
In and around Bures Green, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bures Green
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bures Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Full insurance on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What new build mastic looks like in Bures Green
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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Bures station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

FAQs for Bures Green
Do you cover smaller places like Bures Green?
Yes, Bures Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Bures station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
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.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
