How we handle new build mastic in Dimsdale
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and the jobs we see most are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
For a place like Dimsdale, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we quote for new build mastic

Why it’s worth doing now in Dimsdale
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we’ll tell you. In an older home around Dimsdale, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Dimsdale, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
