Bradenham New Build Mastic
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for householders, landlords and businesses in Bradenham. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
New build mastic in Bradenham, done properly
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and skirting joints opening in the first winter, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Bradenham, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bradenham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Colour picked to suit the job
- You choose the colour before work begins
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a village or hamlet like Bradenham, 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.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bradenham: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Saunderton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Bradenham in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bradenham is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
When to call us in Bradenham
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
