New build mastic in Hoppers Corner, done properly
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and second-fix sealing on new plots.
Around Hoppers Corner, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Questions from Hoppers Corner
Do you work for landlords with property near East Farleigh station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Hoppers Corner?
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In a small place like Hoppers Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
