Leave it or put it right?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Great Yeldham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

New build mastic in Great Yeldham
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We are often asked to deal with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and second-fix sealing on new plots, across bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.
Around Great Yeldham, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Great Yeldham
Will you come out to Great Yeldham?
Yes. Great Yeldham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Great Yeldham in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Yeldham is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you need new build mastic in Great Yeldham?
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Great Yeldham, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.

- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Great Yeldham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
