New build mastic in Burstow, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can help, on plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens alike.
Older homes in small places like Burstow often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

Common questions in Burstow
Will you come out to Burstow?
Yes. Burstow is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gatwick Airport station?
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 will send you a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before we start.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Landlord and commercial work in Burstow
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
