New Build Mastic in Burley
Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Burley? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
How we handle new build mastic in Burley
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Burley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Signs you need new build mastic in Burley
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Sway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why act early in Burley
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

What affects the quote in Burley

- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints

- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.

- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
