New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bogton
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly. We work on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop and upstand sealant coming away and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
For a place like Bogton, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Plot handovers
Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. We clean out building dust before sealing.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a place like Bogton, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

FAQs for Bogton
Is new build mastic in Bogton guaranteed?
All our work, in Bogton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Bogton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bogton
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Bogton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you are in Bogton and need new build mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

For jobs in and around Bogton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Bogton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
