Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
New build mastic in Codicote
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks rather than sitting on a layer of grit. Typical jobs include worktop and upstand sealant coming away and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens.
In smaller places like Codicote, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about new build mastic in Codicote
I let a flat near Knebworth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Codicote for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Codicote is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How much does new build mastic cost in Codicote?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few photos and we’ll give you a straight answer. In an older home around Codicote, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Codicote
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated photos
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.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
