How we handle new build mastic in Hollywater
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We are often asked to deal with skirting joints opening in the first winter and new-build shower sealant that has already split, across windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers.
Somewhere as small as Hollywater, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Your questions about new build mastic in Hollywater
Do you cover smaller places like Hollywater?
Yes, Hollywater is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Hollywater.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Hollywater
- Windows & doors
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hollywater, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Hollywater
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak, and the problem shows up after you move in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Hollywater, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Hollywater, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
