Common problems we fix in Barnet
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
As a London address, Barnet can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

New build mastic in Barnet, done properly
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Barnet. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. Typical jobs include gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on skirting & floors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Wherever a floor meets a wall, a skirting or a threshold, the joint has to allow for movement.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Barnet. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing and primer used where needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Barnet questions
Do you cover Barnet for new build mastic?
Yes, Barnet is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Barnet?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

What new build mastic looks like in Barnet
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near New Barnet station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
