About our new build mastic in Burton End
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and gaps between new skirting and floors.
For a small place like Burton End, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Surface by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

Burton End: your questions answered
Is Burton End within the area you cover?
Yes, Burton End is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stansted Mountfitchet station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Burton End?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote.
What colour sealant will you use?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear for most sanitary joints, colours for worktops, floors and frames. We agree the colour before any work starts.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Burton End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Burton End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
