What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Burnham Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Burnham Green
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
Around Burnham Green, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Your questions about new build mastic in Burnham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Burnham Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Welwyn North station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnham Green
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burnham Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.

- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
