Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Emmbrook, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

New build mastic in Emmbrook
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can put it right.
In and around Emmbrook, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Emmbrook
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Questions from Emmbrook
Will you come out to Emmbrook?
Yes, Emmbrook is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Wokingham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We’ll go through the sealant items and agree what we will do.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
When to call us in Emmbrook
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around Emmbrook, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. A visit to Emmbrook is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
