Why act early in Upper Burgate
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Around Upper Burgate, 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 generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is

The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Upper Burgate
Will you come out to Upper Burgate?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Upper Burgate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Upper Burgate is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Common problems we fix in Upper Burgate
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Whether the job is in Upper Burgate itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Surface by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Upper Burgate, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
