What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
New build mastic in Harmer Green, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Harmer Green, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Harmer Green 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 going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Harmer Green: your questions answered
Is Harmer Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Welwyn North station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How much does new build mastic cost in Harmer Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items and we will give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Signs you need new build mastic in Harmer Green
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
For new homes near Welwyn North station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

- How much experience the applicator has
