Why act early in Box Hill
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Box Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Box Hill

How we handle new build mastic in Box Hill
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Common call-outs are for gaps behind new kitchen upstands and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Box Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere as small as Box Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Do the sealants smell?

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
How much does new build mastic cost in Box Hill?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
How the job changes by surface

Taking time over preparation reduces return visits. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Quotes for new build mastic in Box Hill
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
