Common questions in Burmarsh
Do you cover smaller places like Burmarsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items, and we’ll quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Burmarsh
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Somewhere as small as Burmarsh, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Burmarsh, 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 agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Helping us quote

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated photos
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Around Burmarsh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Burmarsh
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

New homes and floors in Burmarsh
Burmarsh is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
Around Burmarsh, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Westenhanger station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
