What happens if it’s left?
If you are still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Burn's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

Can you work from my snagging list?

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Burn's Green?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
