Cooper's Green questions

Can you do new build mastic in Cooper's Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cooper's Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you work through snagging lists?

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
About our new build mastic in Cooper's Green
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across show homes, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Cooper's Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Cooper's Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one in a matching colour.
How we quote for new build mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

New build mastic in Cooper's Green: local notes

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
When to call us in Cooper's Green
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For new homes near Buxted station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
