FAQs for Burroughs Grove
I let a flat near Marlow 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 give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Burroughs Grove?
Yes, Burroughs Grove is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
How much does new build mastic cost in Burroughs Grove?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
New build mastic in Burroughs Grove
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and shower seals failing in the first year or two.
Around Burroughs Grove, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Burroughs Grove and across Buckinghamshire.

Surface by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burroughs Grove
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. Around Burroughs Grove, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need new build mastic in Burroughs Grove
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracks appear in the sealant.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
For new homes near Marlow station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the amount of work.

- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
