The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours in a single home. For a village or hamlet like Ebernoe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
New build mastic in Ebernoe, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. Both get the same care over preparation. We work on plot handovers, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Somewhere as small as Ebernoe, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need new build mastic in Ebernoe?
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Around Ebernoe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
FAQs for Ebernoe
Is new build mastic in Ebernoe guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do new build mastic in Ebernoe?
Yes, Ebernoe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. Once that’s done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
