New build mastic for homes and businesses in Blackmore
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and show homes, and people most often call us about gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and internal frame sealant that has split.
For a small place like Blackmore, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

New build mastic around Blackmore

Blackmore: your questions answered
Can you do new build mastic in Blackmore?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Blackmore is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we’ll say so.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Blackmore, along with the rest of our area.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
For new build mastic in Blackmore, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackmore
Landlords and letting agents in Blackmore can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Blackmore, 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Windows & doors
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers

Why act early in Blackmore
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Blackmore can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
