Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic in East Stourmouth, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Common call-outs are for messy sealant that spoils new finishes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on skirting & floors, show homes and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as East Stourmouth, 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 of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What new build mastic looks like in East Stourmouth
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For new homes near Minster station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Questions from East Stourmouth
Will you come out to East Stourmouth?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Minster station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What colour sealant will you use?
White and clear are the most common, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home from start to finish. Somewhere like East Stourmouth needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

- Where the property is

Leave it or put it right?
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with photos and we’ll tell you. In a small place like East Stourmouth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
