About our new build mastic in Broadbridge Heath
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 sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and sealant work across a run of new homes.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Broadbridge Heath, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When to call us in Broadbridge Heath
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart, and sealant that cannot keep up splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Broadbridge Heath, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
Questions from Broadbridge Heath
Do you cover Broadbridge Heath for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Broadbridge Heath is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Christs Hospital station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We will go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Broadbridge Heath, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
