Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Dalston, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Dalston
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We leave the area clean and tidy

How we handle new build mastic in Dalston
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Dalston as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Dalston
Do you work for landlords with property near Dalston Junction station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Dalston in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Dalston is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before work begins.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
New build mastic in Dalston: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
For new homes near Dalston Junction station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. Dalston is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Dalston
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Dalston
- Kitchens
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
