Questions from Durford Wood
Is Durford Wood in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Durford Wood is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Durford Wood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we’ll do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Durford Wood and the rest of Hampshire.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How we handle new build mastic in Durford Wood
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Typical jobs include gaps between new skirting and floors and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, across kitchens, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
In a village or hamlet like Durford Wood, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Durford Wood as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Durford Wood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What else we do in Durford Wood
Common problems we fix in Durford Wood
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Look out for these signs:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Durford Wood, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. We will plan around viewing times.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Show homes
- Kitchens
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
