How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Honey Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
FAQs for Honey Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Honey Hill?
Yes. Honey Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
New build mastic around Honey Hill
Honey Hill is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Canterbury West station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
