New build mastic in Highbury
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are second-fix sealing on new plots and internal frame sealant that has split.
Across London, commercial floors have movement joints that break down under heavy foot traffic, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Highbury and across Greater London.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.

New build mastic in Highbury: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
As a London address, Highbury can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Why it’s worth doing now in Highbury
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is generally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Highbury
- Colour agreed with you before we start

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on how much there is to do. In Highbury, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Your questions about new build mastic in Highbury
Can you do new build mastic in Highbury?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Highbury is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canonbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
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.
Should I wait before resealing?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need new build mastic in Highbury?
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Canonbury station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
What affects the quote in Highbury
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
