How we handle construction mastic in Burmarsh
We work to the specification and the programme. Where the specification names a product, we use it, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing. Most enquiries from Burmarsh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Sites around smaller places like Burmarsh can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Use the product the specification names
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area, and a delay to handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Building and refurbishing in Burmarsh
Burmarsh sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. At about 57 miles from central London, Burmarsh is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
Historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (3.5 miles north-east of Burmarsh) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. For contractors building in or near Burmarsh, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Older rural buildings around Burmarsh move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Your questions answered
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Burmarsh?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Burmarsh too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Burmarsh is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent.
