Joints and finishes in Gaskins homes
Gaskins is within about 2 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Around Gaskins, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Landlord and commercial work in Gaskins
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we are called out for in Gaskins
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Brading station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
Common questions in Gaskins
I let a flat near Brading station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Gaskins in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Gaskins is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Gaskins and the rest of the Isle of Wight.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Around Gaskins, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What else we do in Gaskins
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Gaskins, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
