About our new build mastic in Bure Park
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on windows & doors, show homes and bathrooms & en suites, and the jobs we see most are gaps between new skirting and floors and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
In and around Bure Park, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Bure Park
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Bure Park, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Quotes for new build mastic in Bure Park
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Bure Park questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bicester North station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Bure Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with pictures if you can and we will give you a quote. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove every bit of the old bead before resealing.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Bure Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
